Walter (Free verse) by Schrodinger's Cat
Needles of light stab through playful leaves,
Gentle music played by a gentle breeze;
Colors stand as a reminder of Summerâs end.
Observe it all,
be amazed by what you see;
Do as I sometimes do,
Learn from my mistakes.
A lopsided friendship, junior and senior;
Lessons taught, some learned.
Intentional distance (to lessen the blow?),
A sinister plan:
For self alone the violent hand.
The mist reaches up with tenuous fingers;
A pallid sky, cold to view, not a breath to disturb black waters;
Ice still lingers just inches below.
Youth and innocence faded from the downward glance.
