Coming of Autumn

they bloom and try to feel alive
achieve goals of touching the sky
for the weather to change
in the undying cycle of life

slowly and gently they are attacked
with icy winds and cloudy skies
drowning from floods due to rain
and being attached so deep was mistake

they can't move
they can't breathe

falling apart, to pieces they fall
but the cycle never stops
but every year they try
to achieve their goals of touching the sky

blinded with love they never see
the sun is out of reach
