Why?

Ayla Gill

Why?

Why did you
leave me
In that cold
Winter storm,
When 1 wanted
To stay
Warm, in my
Bed
When 1 was so
Small
So,
Tiny and furious
Until the
Snow melted and
Spring began
The little
Flower blossoms
Or buds
So elegant
And tiny, just like me.
And now 1 am
Not alone
As summer
Peers over the
Horizon
And the sun
Comes out
Strong,
Powerful,
But yet kind
In its
Own wealth.
Until leaves,
From the trees
So colorful
But not,
I see Firebird
Brushing her
Tail and mane
Through the
Fire, the light,
Her beauty.

Why?

Did you leave me
It's OK, I have
Seen many seasons
Pass and go
And now
I am
Mother Nature
You are not alone
Come join me
On my journey
Up to heaven.
