STILL LIFE PAINTING

Thick fog blocks somewhere
uncertainties party everywhere

young lost leaf
once a picture of hue
troubled, true, blue

time flies unchanged
twin traveler
bittersweet, ironic fame

our's a living paradox
an honest metaphor
a satirical play

yet such do exist
drowning souls
hopeful coward fears

cease now
whirling, pouring
loving rain

oh young leaf
be firm
real and brave

pair thy pain
match thy magic
ignite your flame
