I Close My Eyes With Yours

I hung it from a willow tree
in the weeping green of spring,
for when you walked along
your path of brighter,
better things,
you'd see the tarinshed bauble,
the snow globe of my life and know
winter's come again,
my world is growing dark.

April rained away the apple blossoms,
May few off on robin wings and you
passed on by the willow
with your summer eyes
blinded by the sun.

Autumn's dressed in jewel tones
in your world of crowns and kings.
My barefoot path is brown leaves,
my trees are empty nests.
I hung my heart among the yellow
leaves upon the oak,
a red bird on the hightest branch,
singing for your ear.

Your golden eye was blinded
by the filaments of last light and your ear
too small a shell to hear
the hymn in ocean's roar
or the final prayer
in my autumn song.

Winter is the archer,
the arrow's on the wing -
I close my eyes with yours.

Very beautiful, melancholic song.

Love,

"I hung my heart among the yellow
leaves upon the oak,
a red bird on the highest branch,
singing for your ear."
A melancholy but beautiful song. Enjoyed the read, hyacinth blue.
