Unmoving (2)
Leaves falling from trees
In the middle of spring
And they still hold green so vibrant
Snow falls in the heat of the afternoon
Sticking to where it lands
Slowly all colors fade to the background
Rushing past me
In front of me all thast is left are barren trees
The new fallen snow
And her
Facing the wind so strong, unmoved
And there she is again
But not the same
She is a small girl
Crouching at the trunk of the old tree
Beneath the naked branches
Shaking and frightened
Wanting to find warmth
Searching for color
But the older her is beconing
Calling the younger me
Saying GET UP!, FACE THE WIND AND COLD!
DON'T BE SO WEAK, DON'T BE SO VULNERABLE
DON'T CRY, SHOW NO FEAR, NO EMOTION
NO TEARS, no matter how lonely
But the young her stares in silence
Shivering and searching
Tears steadily flowing
And she collapses in the snow
Where she falls the snow melts
And everthing beneath the snow where she falls is dead
The older her crys out
WHY DID YOU LET THIS HAPPEN!?!?
I warned you
And tears start to flow down her face
She moves from her stronghold
To try and revive the young her but fails
Slowly she becomes weak and frail
Even younger looking
And I move from my hiding spot taking the place of the girl
Unmoving and strong
I promise myself that when she gives in
And succumbs to her grief
She will lay there and die
And I will not move
Strong and unafraid
UNMOVING
