Spring

it grows

Summer

it stands tall

But fall

the autumn leaves

But winter

A lily frozen in the snow



Her smile

warm inviting

hides the truth

One day

the mask cracks

becomes a

broken smile

full of tears



A boy

the delicate perfection

of youth

becomes a man

becomes tired

becomes old

becomes a grave

where no one cries



A child

I played

at sunrise

I danced in the sun

I danced in the light

But mostly

I danced in

the Shadow
