A blowing leaf in the wind Is how Love's story begins Swept away by whim or Fate Passions rising may turn to hate Careful alwayz, wanting not Hearts afire may turn too hot And engulf the Love that blossoms there Then it becomes a ghost that gets lost in the air A tree falls and no one hears A thousand words said the worth of one tear A smile in silence for love lost A breaking heart feels the loss A guilty look of broken trust As Passion's flame turns Love's ashes to dust Broken as a sparrows wing Who once soared now only dreams Seashell castles in the sand Weak hearted fools refuse to take a stand And nurture a love that blooms unkept As that single leaf on the wind is swept And falls onto the waters lips Finally feeling her tender kiss Waking from a dreadful sleep Love rising from the deep And when finally at last Love arrives and Hate has past Will you be the one who Love awakes or be left standing in Hate's wake A pawn, a fool, broken, alone Or finally, at last, at home Reaching out to take Love's hand As the wind sweeps another leaf away again Thomas |

This was a really good poem. My favorite part: A tree falls and no one hears A thousand words said the worth of one tear A smile in silence for love lost A breaking heart that feels the loss Good Job and I hope reading more from you! Within you I lose myself. Without you I find myself wanting to become lost again. -unkown- |
