Longing
By Trinity C
Shadows arch
as sunlight gleams
through the hazy greyness
illuminating hints of sage green
Burgundy leaves
cascading down
swaying amongst the breeze
fallen to the ground
Entangled, constricted
roots running deep
once amongst the crowd
now solitary, bleak
Withering, fading
a place that was once home
longs for an escape
as time passes and it grows
