He walked among the leaves Dusting at his tired feet A willow tree sulked Its arch the same, As his | Alone Contained inside A white glow fluttered Fading, at moments the sun It matched the clouds that refused To cry | A burden perched Onto his shoulder Claws dug into his Soft fluorescent skin Blood dripped down Stained the snow He felt a cloud And did not know how To let it all go.
