Leaves are falling all around me
a blizzard of red and orange and brown.
In a whirlwind, I'm splashing thru a sea of
leaves.

Memories so precious are made on such days,
overcast but so crisp and beautiful.
These days live forever.

Our last days together were such,
the dying of life and seasons all around.
Winter and all it's coldness soon to bloom
it's dark blossom.

It started in the spring and such life
sprang forth.
But now, with the falling of the leaves,
My spirit drifts down to earth.

Drifting from that high perch, I was so
comfortable up there!
You put me there, you know?
On top of the world, looking down...an
angel's view.

But now the love that sent me soaring so way
up high
Has sent me drifting back to earth and lower.

But the trees are re-born in spring.

------------------
...in your eyes, I see my future in an instant,
And there it goes, I think I found my best friend...

I figured you guys were getting tired of always hearing all the happy stuff from me, so I'd post another side of me. This is another one of those that just kinda goes strait from my heart to the paper and completely by-passes my brain, so if it doesn't quite make sense, that's why! Tell me what you think, good or bad, ok?! Thanks, as always!

I think you have a wonderful theme going here. The comparison is wonderful. Now how about putting that brain into gear and polishing it up a bit. You could have a masterful piece if a little work is applied.

Thanks,
Marilyn.
