When Apples Turn to Ash
By Rowan
A vast world frozenĀ in the hold of time,
slowly gaining momentum
with each turn.
Fruit aging to its pivotal prime,
then to fall
to ashes in a decorative urn.
Rays of gold open the glory of
morning
to face the blessing of a new day.
But across mountains,
black clouds are storming,
rolling through greenlands over way.
Young and vibrant in the tiny seed,
instilling roots in fertile
soil.
Developing into the stage of maturity,
passions let no
other being foil.
To fall or be plucked from a sacred tree,
to survive or to wither as the rose.
A divine fate no human may
forsee,
a path in which fate chose.
Strength that wilts
as the petals fall,
but regained in the life of next.
And as
the storm surrenders its thrall,
a life within the sun reflects.
