A Memory, Too

2/7/2019
A wilted leaf, bound by senescence
is still subject to the adolescence
of spritely spurts of wild and rain
exposing clearly nature's pain
like olden storms of the past
one day: this too shall pass
returning to placid, peaceful days
sun-soaked skin drinks in rays
conjuring pleasantries of days gone by
fond recollections; a sunny sigh
the fury that now looms over you
shall one day be a memory, too
