Unwarranted And Unwavering Poem by Samuel Richard Leonard

The blue sky was barren, except for the lonesome star in the sky burning bright amidst the darkness of space. Its heat radiated on the earth. A man in solitude walked hurriedly across a wooden bridge which was so hot it just might burst into flames. The water beneath it gleamed the suns glare and it twinkled wide. On the gravel now, the man stomped his way through the park taking no notice of the flowers in full bloom all about him, nor the depth of green in the trees leaves as they bustled about in the breeze casting dark shadows o'er greener grasses beneath. Off the gravel and onto the pavement now the man trekked onward, although the attention he didn't give nature was demanded of him by man as he was abruptly torn from his mind by a noise which penetrated his ears, and pierced his thoughts. Brakes squealed across the pavement almost to a halt as an automobile pushed through the man sending him back a number of feet before his back met the pavement as his feet had, so hurriedly, and he skidded to a stop. He immediately curled his body slightly and noticed a darkness swaddling his eyes. The sun boiled the blood dripping down his forehead and just as he exhaled so did a tree beside him cast away a single leaf. Down this leaf twiddled this way and that before deftly it rest on his cheek, as a goodbye kiss.
