Something about this time of year
Things become a little less clear
The wind in the trees whispers of chances missed and roads not taken
Friendships lost you once held dear

Leaves float down like lonely memories
One by one I remember all the things left only half done
Like love once missed because of fear
And how I regret not opening that door

The sun is bright but not warm like a friendship that should be something more
Or distant love that has no form

The sky is clear but not my mind
My heart’s courage hard to find
Questions left unanswered… unasked

Fall fills my mind of things past
Now turning older but still no wiser
No courage to demand
No faith to ask

Another chance slowly drifts into recent past
And still the door is shut fast.

Raleigh, here is to the encouragement of many warm, enduring relationships to come...and the friendships you will find here in Passions...

Welcome...

a belated welcome to passions

again, i like the direct way you put things across...

the sky is clear but not my mind

Another chance slowly drifts into recent past
and still the door is shut fast

simply written but deeply felt

this is really beautiful, welcome to passions

Look within the heart of a poet, and you will see a reflection of their soul.
