Curtins Closed I must keep my curtins closed or spend a restless night betraying all the confidence that I had placed in me. When emotions congregate in mounds of Autumn leaves I can not tell my soul that all is well. For once the leaves have left the tree and faltered to the ground no wind can blow them back and nurture dies. Leaving their repose a hapless journey with the wind before ascending heaven clothed in black. When I see my Autumn leaves I have a restless night and dream of ways to hold them in their place. All through the night I suffer, giving solace to the tree, while it, without compassion never offers solace back. ------------------ Lorene Yesterday is history, tomorrow just a mystery. And if today is good to me, it will beat the heck out of day before yesterday! |

OhMe - Comfort and solace I offer you. I sway like the weeping willow in the wind, to comfort you with showing you that the winds may blow ... but they only bend ... they do not break my boughs. I hope you find comfort in knowing that you are safe in the hearts of many friends. Love ~Marge~ ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Denise, thank you. Jewel, thanks and yes, for me it is. Marge, I have always felt welcome here. To feel safe in another's heart is even more important. So, thanks. I needed that! |

I never spoke to the tree to find out what it feels when the leaves are gone...perhaps I will write that into my next one. Beautiful poem. |
