Leaves Of Autumn By Paul Wilson Words spoken on winds of tomorrow touch leaves of Sycamore falling to ground No headstone marks your resting place telltale signs of you nowhere to be found Smell of sweet Lilac floating on air tells me you were here beside me again Gone are those days of laughter we shared like leaves of Autumn blowing in the wind Your being surrounds me in its warmth of love and memories shared thru the years I feel your presence in the trees the mountains and the cool chill of night that embrace my tears Tears of loneliness and happiness shed are the life blood of my empty soul The beginning and end of unbroken circle all that remains of our love I now hold Thaw of mountain stream carries your ashes back to me from where I set you free that Autumn day My heart is still stained from tears I cried since you passed away…but I’m okay Another year of loneliness has come and gone as leaves of Autumn began their decent again Tomorrow I’ll walk path of memories touching leaves of Autumn blowing in the wind ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul [This message has been edited by Paul Wilson (12-24-2005 06:55 AM).] |

Paul~ I've been raking some of these memoried leaves myself ... this is so tenderly beautiful as to caress my cheek with a tear~ I don't mind the tears when they fall for remembering someone I loved ... thank you for this~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*No matter what I search for ... |

Paul, you have expressed a great amount of feelings for someone very dear to you.. Our losses are often painful, this is no exception. |

 Paul, that is one of the most embracingly beautiful poems of loving remembrance that I have ever read.  All of my loved ones know that once I return Home, they will experience the "smell of sweet Lilac floating on air." whenever I come around them.  Angel hugs and blessings, Linda |

Martie...Somehow I knew this poem would be warmly accepted by you. I was thinking about you and Michelle a little while writing it. I havn't suffered this type of loss myself but just dwell on the day I might, perhaps to much. Thank you so much for your tender words and for being one of the great poets that inspire me here at Passions...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul |
