Earthing the new

The leaves fell as the new ones arrived,
The thoughts of yesterday buried under the earthly pile.
Gently replacing the soil for the new seeds to grow,
told our hearts the new ones would have a vivid glow.

Holding a pen with words unspoken,
Watching the papers as the pen tore them,
The ink splashed the entire way,
Words were craved by the drowning pain.
Begin a new chapter while the stain remained.

Time being,
pain is suppressed so deep that the stain is unseen.
Yet the thoughts are alive within our memories.
Despite the pain, despite the cry,
Will write our chapters with pages new,
Unearthing the lame ones while unwinding the hues,
Waiting for the season of sprouts, rising like few.
