My life is on a turn-
A new leaf,
I thought they came in delicate green,
Pleasing to sight, soft to touch.
Why has mine come brown?
Turbulence;
Decay is the ground of my roots,
Feeding me death from the ground up.
How can a tree be so unlucky?
If there is truth in what they say,
That nothing lasts forever,
Let decay depart forever.
Turn me a new leaf to last,
Fresh pages to fill.
Potions to heal
And a song to tell
How I overcome
By your hands.
