As I turn around I see colors.
I see different shapes and sizes.
They all inspire someones.
Whether you draw write or sing or teach.
The color red brings memories.
Those sturdy trees remind you of that movie.
And that bird has fearless colors you just want to draw.
Time goes by and so does the sun.
You wave it good-bye or a simple hello.
You know he'll come back tomorrow.
But we don't know if the bird will
Capture and remember the moment when you have the chance.
Don't let them go and fly away.
They could open new doors to you
As I open a new chapter in my life

This Piece has to do on how you see things that you just want to save them but you ignore them thinking they'll come back and never do they do but differently its not the same... like love.

Nothing kind about it, Swiftie.  Let me know when you write more.  I'm a fan.

I love the way the poem starts with turning back, to notice something that is going away--fleeting things.  And then the ending is a surprise--it's a new chapter.  This has some beautiful truth in it, Swiftie.
