slipping in the rain
grey skies
comes with my demise
crusted mud
and soggy socks
clomping
stomping
seen as
splishing
splashing
lack of care
and silliness
my demise
is a surprise
In your eyes
cherry blossom tears
tasseled flowers
drip from my roots
watered with tears
and your screams
i can hear you
your thundering cry
crumbles me
and yet
my pink drip drops
still plunder your leaves
sunkissed
burning umber clouds
sink deeper into
my souls
buried deep beneath
the overlooking
oh so omniscient
but so far away
come out
indecisive
or stay in
to keep my water flowing
