Falling Leaves

There is something
deeply moving
in falling leaves
as they with one thought
accompanied by
a colorful farewell
begin their descent
from lofty positions of
sheltering….shadowing
depriving the landscape
its softness
leaving my heart
exposed to the elements
of emotions

Yes, an exposed heart...you wrote of my favorite subjects-nature and emotions.
I sit here reading this again and I think that the leaves live again so perhaps exposed hearts are once again covered...

RobertB~
Oh ... this is a very moving piece.
A feeling of detachment ...
of letting go ~
of falling away ...
and wishing it wasn't so.

Well done, poet.

I wish you an early Spring
to redress the branches of your heart
with fresh joyous emotions.

Always enjoy reading your stuff, Robert,
and I've noticed warmth and color
intensifying in your work lately.

do I believe we'd be better off apart?
can I see my world without you in it?
baby, not for a single minute...

Oh yes......one misses the color and shelter found among the leaves, especially when the heart is left exposed to cold reality. Wonderful work, Robert.....nice to meet you!

Live...Love...Be grateful for both!!

There is much within the structure of one's living, feeling, thinking, that is paralleled by nature. A thoughtful and tangible composition, Robert. Thank you.
(Very pleased to find one of your poems to enjoy tonight)
