The Wails in the Autumn Wind
Ensemble,
they are a splendor.
Alone, they crumble and
bare their fragility.
Unaware they are torn.
Some fly
Some float
All fall.
The tree stands
Arms outstretched
Palms empty
Fingers aching to hold
You left me, it cries
We didn’t want to,
they rustle.
Autumn
The lush trees Nature weaves
wither and shrivel
into reddened leaves
Ensemble, behold the sight.
Alone, it crumbles
Silent, dry and light.
These are 2 poems I wrote years ago. They're actually two variations of the same theme. I think that was the year that Autumn really depressed me. I'm definitely a spring and summer girl.
Now that it's November (and 70 degrees in PA!), I thought it'd be fun to share.
