“The Weight of Falling Leaves
Winter swept onto my doorstep quite easily,
Like it overtook every part of my heart,
The moment you left my autumn to fall.
So I kept things as you left them – frozen,
Showing no sign of any emotion or feeling,
Like the leaves that wither and die in the ice.
Never fulfilling the purpose for which they fell,
Yet crumbling under shoes heavier than the burden
The tree gave them by letting them go.
They long to be carried away by the wind or the elements,
Not trapped forever in this frozen expanse of white,
Beneath starry skies that gaze upon each December night.
I can no longer bear to look upon them,
So I set them free with a kiss to keep;
Filled with the fire of your lips, finally redeemed –
See how they gleam with beauty, long before spring.”

“The weight of loss is heavier than the tears,
And in the dense grief, we find the ocean and its shores,
A shell on the sand, holding pearls inside.
O Heart, keep breaking,
for the crack will release the gems in deep.
This is how we find the moon at night.
This is how we sense, the stars in our eyes,
For in the shell is the essence,
In the grief, it's faraway light.”
