Empty sky : A eulogy

User Profile: ZenArashi

The wind is still,  

A leaf falls

not a single sound  

but its a quiet descent.  

  

The tree, once full,  

stands bare,  

its branches reaching  

into an empty sky.  

  

The earth beneath me  

feels colder now,  

like the space  

where you once stood.  

  

I search the horizon,  

but there’s no trace,  

just the endless stretch  

of what’s left behind.  


And in the silence,  

I wonder if the stars,  

have forgotten

to shine.

@ZenArashi Such a beautifully still moment you've captured here. The way you describe the leaf's quiet descent and the tree's bare branches reaching into an empty sky really resonates. I love how you’ve linked that subtle coldness to a sense of loss, and the thought of the stars perhaps forgetting to shine is such a poignant touch. Lovely. (Love your Art <3 )
