Seasons of Pain
Ayan Ahmed
The days get colder as the seasons change.
From one of blossom to now of pain.
The sorrowful days that formed our tears
Will go with the wind as quickly as
Taking a breath.
So tell me where should I go
Between the oceans of life and death?
Where one is robbed of a time
Quicker than the changing of seasons.
Where screaming and yearning
Can not bring back the dead
But praying and leading
benefits one instead
Where laughter and tears have drowned
in the weight of life.
While death in its stillness makes no sound.
And we remember the arguments and pain
we caused upon them,
not the warmth, the joy, the happiness
That we brought them.
I yearn to be like a mountain that is untouched by the tides of change.
Or a bird that flies for those who are aware of when they die.
In full awareness but can not control
Their death’s arrival
And the loss of their home
