You unfurled me
Softly, like a blossom
From the darkness
I was blooming
Beneath your summer skies
While in the shadows
You were slowly creating
Repainting my colours
In the varied shades of my fall
Oblivious to my fragility
I was like a snowflake
Sparkling on a shaft of sunlight
Unaware that I was already there
On the long winding road
From the inception
Of my desolation
