Mourning

Autumn morning, still I mourn
and the earth cries with me.
From branches leaves are torn,
vanishing into wind’s debris.

Lost amidst the morning haze
until nothing left to see,
leaves mourn today
like the tears that fall from me.

Tragically ripping from my eyes
sinking into the puddle of grief,
tears vanish as I cry
to be with each stagnant leaf.

Hope can die in an instant
but forever dreams carry on.

My how sad this is... and what a tragic picture you have drawn. I hope that this is not too autobiographical You write with a poignance that makes your readers care. Well done.

Thank you!
And no, not autobiograhphy or anything.  When I write, I kind of sit outside my emotions and create new emotions through my poetry.
