The Last Leaf

Alone once more I wondered in the dark
Of life and love and endings premature,
Remembering some innocent remark,
I paused and smiled, at once content and sure.
Content to know our souls have found their mates
And sure of unadulterated joy,
I relished new found freedom from the fates
And scoffed at any ruse they might employ.
Just let them cause the sun to dare deny
That life imbuing light that brings our breath.
Though flowers fade and trees then surely die,
The love we share will never taste its death.

When ivy withers so upon the wall
Our hands entwined we'll watch the last leaf fall

just what I needed...one of your lovely sonnets to sate me in rhyme and ease my mind...
so good to read your cadenced gifts again David.

Well I looked to the sky for my anthem
The words and the music came through
But words and music can never touch
The beauty that I've seen in you
