I'm brown, turning grey.
Lifted up by autumn winds,
I forget myself
and what changing color means.
Now, there is only the wind.A surface like glass
interrupts my joyous fall.
Water engulfs me.
Chlorine burns like strong venom
trying to dispose of me.And yet, I'm still here.
I will rise—though bedraggled—
while the wind steers me.
I struggle to keep my shape,,
my tip scraping the pool's edge.There, I lie—frozen—
until someone has mercy,
and I am rescued.
Sunlight soothes my soaked form
but now I know—my time's near.
