PAD Challenge Day 30: Don't Be Surprised

PAD Challenge Day 30: Write a surprise poem.

Don't Be Surprised 

If the sun's full round face becomes a square 

in between patches of scattered clouds. 

If the moon no longer opens the night and 

the stars no longer dance around your head.

If the birds don't hold a tune 

and the caterpillars never cocoon. 

If the ocean doesn't wave and 

the trees don't stare back at you.

If the ones that loved you today, 

hate you tomorrow.

If the favorite voice you once heard

goes weak and can no longer speak.

If the lips you once french kissed, 

harvest a new passionate tongue of deceit.

If the arms that knit your heart close, 

cut your heartbeat thread loose.

If the one that was quick with a vital 

hello is the first to ghost you with no excuse.

If the one that painted a rainbow on your face, 

widely draws in the color blue to make you cry too.

If family becomes strangers and 

friends more like family.

If friends become lovers.

If you wake up alone, remember 

time is of the essence and 

you're life is the most beautiful surprise.
