To paint a picture of the fall

By Tommyrot

concerned about the twitching undertone
i in a one thought state of mind
pierced the cool canvas
disrupting every preceding
still captured autumn i’ve known
reaping as an abstract means to an end
glorifying dead leaves and destroying content
listen and you will feel torn
overcome by mother and exposed to the unforgiving sky
lay now and eat earth but don’t dismay
you’re naked you’re beautiful
and your death will bring anew

    This is not about my pain. It is the rhythmic beauty I see in the changing season and it’s life and death. Mother is to earth.
