         Desiderium II
  (on the cusp of Winter)

Grey November day
conjuring memories
of all of life and loves
  forever lost
beneath a glowering sky
that weeps for Autumn
  passing.
Bare trees line the
damp, dead ground
like forgotten sentinels
of relentless sorrow,
leaning together
to a cold-indifferent wind
  in furtive whisper,  
with every abandoned heart,
of endless longing for another
world … another Spring.

You lament very well, good buddy. This was very well written and felt.

You write so eloquently from the heart. The seasons are like our emotions,  there is stillness and beauty in all things.  If we are truly lucky we are content with the endless cycle of change and bewilderment.

You are the master of melancholy.

But there is joy in the anticipation ...
