Each dawn, and once again
I am called back by the sun’s golden light;
bright lance thrown from the autumnal sky.
The clarity of this moment strikes
a bitter blow upon my shoulders.
I live only to wake up,
to go through the motions of endless day;
in patient wait for the night.

In solitude,
I listen for the call of winter
heard on pointed wings of the wild geese.
So surely, they find their way over
shadows cast by this harvest moon.
If only, I could call my love
back from the dark side.
For he knows not, how much
I grieve for him.

Hauntingly beautiful! Sadness and beauty intertwined! Love, Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
