Analysis of Parable Life
Isn't life a parable
The grandest tree of all
And like peaches falling
Falling in the fall
The scratched color purple
The purple on its back
And like a dark rainbow
Reindeers locked in racks
Isn't life a parable
Panorama on a wall
And like a breath is taken
Taken by the fall
