My soul, as vast as the open ocean,
Always feels so cold.
Each passing summer, I feel myself becoming old,
Like a silky, white willow.
Lifeless leaves dance away with Fall’s breeze.
Sunless days glide through baby blue skies.
As rain trickles down,
Clear, wet droplets fall upon rosy cheeks,
They are my tears…
A wading pool of adulthood.
