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
