Evergreen
I see someone from time to time,
Thriving to be substantially fine;
Previously vivacious and evergreen,
Until the unpredictables were seen.
She sits alone on a mediocre bench,
Still, consumed by unknowables,
Unbothered by the world around
Like she's laying in a deserted trench.
There are healing cuts on her hand,
There are unhealed cuts on the tree,
They stare at eachother, eye-level,
As the moments momentarily freeze.
Some days, the summer-blazing-sun
Chooses not to expeditiously run,
While some days, the pouring sky
Decides not to concisely pry.
There echoes two grateful hearts,
Lively, botanically breathing;
I see one beautiful, bodied soul,
Not thinking anymore about fleeting.
I remember her curiosities oozing out,
And her heart predominantly beating,
I seldom see that revealing resemblance,
Not thinking anymore about fleeting.

Thank you very much, Stephen! I almost thought it went unnoticed.
