Simple as A Breath of Wind

Journey

Free verse
Love dies
In those  unseemingly obvious moments
Where
one lone tree in a silent forest falling
Echoes
in ricochets
Travelling
Into canyons on
the
movement of butterflies wings
Over
dominoes so carefully built
Now
Teetering

About this poem

It struck me that in love That is ending There is always that final straw This tried to capture that defining moment When you know a relationship has ended
