No feather floats by at this time of night
when birds are asleep and only I weep
and trees no longer seek autumn relief
in the spring of a life beginning again.

There are words in the quiet of solitude
like the longing within coming out in the world
not slow like the growing but a speedy unfurl
of love’s so intense emotional needs.  

Summer forestalls for one moment more  
to watch and wait for the shiver and shake
to cease and recede like leaves under rake
dispatched to the fire of sated desire.

The end comes in with the breathe, breathe in,
of the so cold alone winter repose
and the dream, the feel, in sudden foreclose
succumbs to the rise of reality.  

Summation unsteady moves around views
and I can say nought but that a soul pact
impacts on a mind true love’s interact
when the birds are asleep and only I weep!

Helen

Any season or place, you are not the only one that weeps.  You pulled me in, and took me to winter come spring.

Honeybunch,

    Wink. Sometimes I am moved in such a way after reading a poem, that I am unable to grasp words to amply respond.  This is such a time.
