          Time’s  Arrow

A disconsolate Winter wind
wraps the tattered scraps
of fallen leaves and
  faded promises
around the empty corners
of a broken heart
as Autumn falls
in cascading sorrows
and tangled memories
of love and Summer’s chance
  forever lost
to the irrevocable flight
of Time’s swift-indifferent
  arrow.

Sadness, in a beautiful write.

Warm hug this cold fall day!

Linda is right, Bruce, I have never read one of you poems I didn't like and this one
is another example of the work of a master poet.

I really like the melancholy you've written so beautifully!

This is just how it is today.  Well, we have passed from autumn into early winter.  But, it is just like this today.
