We Will Fall Like Snow Poem by Mark Heathcote

In default, we will fall like snow
Or snake-like rain on a windowpane
Trying our best to enter again
Oh, life is a wilting falling petal.

With a visionary tale, we'll swirl-
Like a bird across the sea, the world
And just for a moment, we'll settle
And stay for a word a feathery kiss.

Fearless, oh, then the wind will hiss
Puff out his cheek and billow
And wisp - this fruit cannot resist.
The harvest that falls with sweet aplomb.

Not like us, the leaves of a ginkgo
That falls in somersault acrobatically
Whisking ever upwards to the skies.
I think we don't care to fade or die.
