Flowers do not bloom within her. Seeds do not sprout And the only roots she sees are her own, Withering with age and leaving her to find her way alone. This temple sees only weather, Torrential abuse because it doesn't do its job It fails To produce Anything. Nothing. Every passing week is simply another reminder that At the end of the road There will be no semblance of immortality, The end of the road will be just that. The end of her, Her name, Her grief. Gardens bloom around her, But the willow weeps and dries up. She may keep her sleep, But that's all she'll have at the end of the day.

Harvest Season
Flowers do not bloom within her. Seeds do not sprout And the only roots she sees are her own, Withering with age and leaving her to find her way alone. This temple sees only weather, Torrential abuse because it doesn't do its job It fails To produce Anything. Nothing. Every passing week is simply another reminder that At the end of the road There will be no semblance of immortality, The end of the road will be just that. The end of her, Her name, Her grief. Gardens bloom around her, But the willow weeps and dries up. She may keep her sleep, But that's all she'll have at the end of the day.
