~Shiny~

 time passes

like water

playing over rocks

wayward trees

in a lonely garden

feeling pulled

in one direction

but still resisting

no compromise

can't give into

the shiny people

shashaying by 

flowers sleep

in forgotten warmth 

leaved start to fall

tangled and weary

spilling into

their own sillhoettes

the deepest blue

of shadows
