Two ApplesA Poem by Ally CharlestonI can still remember everything. Bright and beaming. Connected by intertwined branches. Always in sight. I remember when the sun would peak through. Gleaming upon us. Shining without an imperfection. Always radiant. I also remember when the wind blew. I heard a snap. Yet holding on, staying close. Always determined. I remember feeling thankful. Not all is lost. Hanging on, were we. Never doubting. I remember seeing the fall. It seemed slow. Watching it painfully. Never believing. I remember fighting to join. I wanted to fall, too. Calling out for a response. Never giving up. I remember seeing them all on the ground. All of them together. Shining with a newfound light. Never remembering. I remember watching it all from above. Angry and upset. Deciding to finally give up. Yet always looking. © 2013 Ally CharlestonAuthor's Note
