The tree with 0range- yellow leaves

Today 
I saw the most beautiful tree
with orange-yellow leaves
And the bark was so lovely dark 
it complemented the leaves 
In that
0range- yellow way
and then
Like magic
it started to snow 
not heavy snow 
but light snow
even after an hour not even an inch of snow 
snow
And I could talk all about snow
if I wasn't so distracted 
by the tree with
dark bark
and 0range- yellow leaves

  • Separation

    Why does the rain 
    tap on the window
    when you can't feel it?
    Why will it remind you of 
    the dew drops dancing on the grass blades in early spring,
    of August's ocean breeze spraying saltwater in your hair, 

  • Empty

    The person is empty 
    the person with no identity 
    the one with no personality 
    Who doesn't now what yesterday was like or the day before
    Know one seems to know this person anymore 
  • Understanding

    Somewhere in my past
    a sunny snow day haunts me
    the serenity 
    Feels too cliche 
    to enjoy
    I remember the glances out of the window
    on a day that finally feels like spring 
    because winter can be long and dark
