Thirteenth part of the [21 Elements] project, inspired by Final Fantasy Type-0 (Reishiki). I'm playing the game!
This poem is dedicated to [Paul Derick S. Cruz], the boomerang-wielder of the element...
LXXXIII
LEAF
Triad of the heart
The winter barrenness ends
Sorrow’s epilogue
Had there been more time for you,
Would you have chosen better?
Falling from the drought
Into the gloomy snow
Hope falls like the dew
Over the numb rock
They fall in sadness
Patience drawing cold
From the surroundings
The suffocation
They fall constantly
Down to the pavement
They kiss the dry earth
With a fulfilled smile
Many see them fall
They wonder and ask,
“Why do they scatter
Like a wanderer?”
Many do not know
They don’t understand
Some things just happen
They need no reason
They smile on the ground
For their job is done
The journey fulfilled,
The conclusion met
Yet no one knows this,
The story beyond
Has much more to share,
Much more to learn from
Had there been choices to pick,
Would your outcome be better?
Falling does not mean
Losing a battle
It is destiny
Set in retrograde
Sometimes, fate decides
For our weak conscience
And it is in that
We regain our strength
Falling is merely
A plain occurrence
In nature’s lifetime
A self-renewal
But the path is deep
The shadows cave in
And dwell painfully
In the arid core
Yet this must be done
Death has come to us
Like a wave of peace
Removing our souls
Yours, a stinging drop
A drink of acid
It is yours to fill
Your agonized heart
Mine, pieces of pain
Shards of loneliness
Perpetually bleed
In order to live
Had there been another life,
Would you choose to be the same?
Do not choose to be
If you do, prepare:
The crystal will come
Falling from the sky
Triad of the heart
The pieces desire to bloom
The story awaits
