The cracks trip me up
making me blink and stumble.
The roots of nearby trees
travel for miles and miles
As they cause the once solid concrete
to crumble.
I used to know this walk.
But years have passed
and nature has happened.
Turning a safe walk
into a hazardous fall.
This park used to hum with life
and laughter.
Now all you hear is the skitter of a dead leaf
or nothing at all.
