In a park
Near the old brick
Lighthouse by the sea

The autumn lawn
Is slowly filling in
With fallen leaves

There are
Marble statues
With faces of people
I used to know

Along the walk
Where from the shore
If one looks out far
And long enough
He will feel

Their white ships
Faintly on the horizon line
Sailing toward a rising sun
In the East

I don’t know the park
But I see the shadow pillar
Across the leave strewn grass

I don’t know those people
Now pieces of stone
But I know that honorable look

I know the beach and shore
And because of you words
I know your journey

I have experienced this and am tucking it away for safe-keeping. You vividly brought it all back to me with this powerful, yet simply stated, write.

Very beautiful

I love fall, in many ways, the leaves, pumpkins, and anything to do with Fall, thank you for painting a picture in mind, it was well needed
