Seasons in Poetry Collection

like bone turns to ash, 

leaves disintegrate between alabaster fingers -

this too shall pass away

like the family grieves, 

wind howls through a forest of barren trees -

this too shall pass away 

like a woman smiles into the pain, 

a cherry blossom balances on the water's calm surface -

this too shall pass away

like the embrace of a beloved friend, 

golden sunlight bathes her face in warmth -

this too shall pass away

so too shall i pass away
