The colors that Fall wears when she's dying
leave me not knowing what to say,
I usually have just the right wisdom
when someone or something passes away.

But I waste my two-in-the-morning's
searching for things that don't exist,
trying to relieve the pain
that has me clenching tight my fist

ready to throw a punch at anyone
who looks at me the wrong way,
angry at the cold early mornings
that leave me nothing else to say.

Whew! It's not too often such a lovely lady gets this way. Even so, the fire is fodder for poetry and I enjoyed this very much....LOve the last verse.

I love the beauty of fall.
Though I cry at Summer's demise.
But I dislike Winter's gall.
For the flurries in my skies.
I understand your pain.
And the anger in your soul.
For I have the same disdain.
Of winter's frigid toll.

I love it!

What Blues Serenade said. Breath deep.
Of course I usually follow that up with the rest of the poem...

... the gathering gloom.
Watch lights fade from every room...

I think the Moody Blues said it best.

Hang in there.

"We'll chase them like rats across the tundra."

I've come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as a painkiller.



There ARE respites, though.

Hugs the sky in between the storms.
