Being a Daughter
When the leaves fall, such beauty in seeing them flow and flay and sway and dance in the wind and finally land softly onto the ground.. Such serenity and calm watching this, and
the stark contrast watching your parents flay oy sway or become shaky.. We as their children doing everything to not want to see them fall, or touch the ground..
It's the toughest phase to watch them reach their Autumn, and ebb closer to Fall, trying our best to keep them in their Spring,Blossoming, Sharing, Giving fragrance, Giving Shade, Protecting us from the harsh light, always there, present, and feel Cool to be under their umbrella. Such Duality in life..As a daughter im swinging on the branches of this beautiful tree, trying to find my balance between being the daughter and becoming the caregiver and parent to my parent.

Every damn year, the breakdown comes swiftly, like a storm untold, heart racing, mind spinning, losing control. What seems like joy then feels like a weight, an imbalance growing, too heavy, too late.
