Flowering in autumn

lyrics by: Leon Veneman
Written on Dec 15, 2024

Born in the warm soil 
Blood is prominent
Swap shells for bones
Dye on the outside

By each breath inhaled an exhaust is prevailing
Building tight blocks though some are failing
Another aftermath in yarn encircling the gorge
The skein is enlightened in dark ages

Transforming to adapt in sincere revelations able to walk
The mutation of the eye tells stories all shall see
A cord became undone by grinding teeth cutting the lead
The pain and the cries arriving at the start where the blind wander

Where you were supposed to end is left unspoken
The fear of facts conquered by ears
Where you were supposed to end is left unspoken
A being pushed to knees while hands lift
Where you were supposed to end is left unspoken
Flowering in autumn

Excellent choices of metaphors especially the one: Where you were suppose to end is left unspoken Flowering in autumn. This is not a whimsical light hearted easy breeze autumn's poem. But is Depressing, Sad and Dark and it is well said exactly the very way that you did say.
