There Once Was a Tree
Their story began
Soft and sweet like the velvet blossoms of the cherry tree
That stood in the middle of the park where they met
Kisses as luscious as ruby rivulets
Were the exotic fruits that consumed them
As gasps of passion
And sighs of contentment
Filled the endless nights
That always promised more.
But soon the sudden chill of autumn
Overtook the air with unexpected force
And the carefree waters where their love had sailed
Uninhibited and free
Soon roiled with ennui
And a new search for the pieces
Of the puzzle that had been theirs
Tore them apart
As the once-glittering pieces tumbled to the ground
Landing under the now barren branches
Of the tree in the park.
