 To Acknowledge Fall The earth turned quicker then what I expected it But, sundown just didn't feel the same How hard it is looking out through all this fall As I just daze through all this rain... I can't acknowledge fall in it's scattered remains Cause, the leaves bring something in a lonely change And, they blow like I don't even exist But, what do I do with all of this... When summer died right before my eyes I vowed to hold on to what's kept inside Oh, the flowers you handed sweetly to me Now are among the winds and can't be seen... I can't acknowledge fall on it's release to the grounds Because in it means we lie nowhere around I need a new memory to share here with you And, let the winds gather what's left here on through... I just can't acknowledge fall when it takes all mine I only have what I can relive once upon a time Though the colors are brilliant in their escape to the land I can't dismiss summer and being hand and hand... Forgive me if fall weighs hard on the soul But, I'm here saving summer to avoid the cold I can treasure us and the warmth brought along by the sun I just can't acknowledge fall and what it's done... Sauni:)The Only Time I See The Sun Is When I'm Within That Vanilla Breeze.The Only Time I'm One With The Sun Is When He Shelters Me From The Rain. L.S |

Poingnant and moving. It suggests a sadness unknown by the reader but felt none the less. |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Saunni, you are never alone, I too can't help but feel grief every autumn annually too because when I was a little boy I always had my worst times of depression in September when I was abused and had seizures and nightmares and the trees withering reminded me of dying. (sad sigh) My heart goes out to you and know I am always here for you if you need someone to talk to, God Bless You, I send angel hugs your way, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Saunni, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Saunni~I agree with Richard here... this piece hints at something...I can't put my finger on.....something sad..something I felt deeply. Well done! ~Hugs~ ~ Time has cast a spell on you |

I have trouble with fall too, a memory that wood smoke brings out...the air just crisp with reminders, and the long cold nights...I know and I feel it too. |

Gut-wrenching, but, like the others don't know the why. Beautifully written. May you soon know peace. A warm hug. Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Saundra, this was very good work. I also felt a sadness coming forth, like the others. And also, like the others, I don't know why. I just hope that you can find some joy to help take the sadness from your heart. Thanks for sharing. Love To All, Ethel....garysgirl |

Remembrances of Falls Past, and of risings present. Thank you. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |
