Reminding me

Reminding me

A Poem by Barton Showalter
"

Portrays the beauty of change but the reality of ends.

"

Reminding me

 

Sitting and wondering

Seeing the stress fall along the wall

End of summer reaching the fall

Like happiness has halted

Colorful crusty leaves falling like memories

Reminding me

Walking on the road and CRUNCH

Like Mayweather stuck a punch

Reminding me

Of what I can see

But more importantly what I can’t see

You see beautiful leaves

But that is only what you perceive

When actually what you see is death

The opposite of a baby’s breath

What seems to be a great ending

A spectacular bang

Reminding me

Of the things, I will miss

Like when the birds sang

Or the sun and horizon kissed

Reminding me

The summer will be missed

 

That’s not what it’s about

It’s about the past, not the present

Wait no-

You slide through life

But when it comes to the end do you really have the sight

That you’ve been looking for all your years

From happiness to tears

For better or for worse

Wondering what your life hast turned to

When you just sit there and curse

Shhhhh

Does it really matter

Reminding me

We’re back to reality

Because it’s not what they see

But it’s what you actually make yourself to be
