Lonely Little Child
May 27, 2012
Falling, Falling
lonely little child
Why was it running
away from home?
Spring was fading
Winter so far away
Autumn creeping up
from the shadows
of the seasons
Summer on it's away
Why was it running
away from home?
It's home was
nestled
tucked
protected
in the branches of it's mother
Disconnected from life
lonely little child
set apart from the sea
of green
Falling, Falling
down
brown
lonely little child

I hope that readers will understand that this poem is about a "leaf" that died and was falling to the earth in the beginning of summer, clearly out of place compared to the vibrant green blanket above it. The message is that sometimes life can take an unexpected turn, sometimes leading you away from healthy relationships or people, but no matter the outcome, always keep your head up.
