      Autumnal Impressions

Endless, cadent cloud-legions
  march forever
across the deep and grand
  October sky,
as sunbeams dance with
the last flame-bright leaves
  in falling arabesques
along a sylvan path
   to nowhere.
Our traceless lives are
like this forest wind
that never lingers long.

Yes yes yes, life is fleeting, just like the wind.
Your poetry has a gentleness that always keeps me coming back for more.

So pretty, dreampoet~

So true. Enjoyed!

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.

I understand the feeling behind this poem, Bruce, but I do have to wonder if our lives are "traceless." It would seem such a waste.
