    Until There Was You

I listen … listen
quietly with the heart
to the sound of dry
maple leaves falling
  by moonlight
(brittle truth of another
  Autumn  passing)
and the night wind softly singing
in requiem to the final golden
hours of Indian Summer
  slipping away
into a bleak-foreboding
November world of
the soul’s remorse and
   discontent.
I know only that my life has
been the Winter tumbleweed
on a thousand-mile
journey to nowhere
until there was you!
  
     ---- b. e. adams (10/2/2013)

Beautiful, Bruce, sometimes it seems we are directed to nowhere and yet every step counts.
