I watched the leaves fly backwards on
          Saturday night,
Right at about the same time the
          Clocks turned back.

It was almost as if the world itself
          Was turning back.
A delay to the onset of November’s
          Frost and chill.

An hour of my life that I got back,
         To use as my own.
But, it was just one more hour
         That you weren’t here.

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

Oh, the sadness at the end of this one got me.  I can relate.  Hang in there, PV.  Life does go on.  ((hugs))

An extra hour of sadness this year. But maybe next year it will be an extra hour of happiness.

Soft and so alone.  Boy what an effect that
one hour has on us all....A very touching
ending to a great little poem.

Ohh...Dear Lady.   This is beautiful! I share an understanding with you it seems.  

Sometimes the heart needs the solace of solitude and silence.
