Sitting alone in the park,
listening to the the trees
dance ballets in the dark,
they realized it wasn’t the wind
that had blown away their spark.

I enjoyed the simplicity of this poem. But the hidden depth behind the words. I think this one of my favorites..:)

Thank you, but it's basically about a couple who realies it wasn't the "wind" that had blwo out their "spark", meaning that they realized it wasn't something simple that had ruined their relationship, if that makes sense!

I like the words and the flow of your poem, but I don't quite grasp the meaning of it. Can you explain it to me?
