would that there be but only one word for this shade of melanchol I feel but, alas, there are too many and yet, not one will ever match the feeling I had as I watched a leaf fall from a tree to the ground a single leaf (indeed, not the first) that fell to the ground in a plaintive, almost understanding way as if it knew its time had come twisting and twirling in an unheard eddy of a September breeze that chilled the soul of this warm day as if it knew that it must end that it must end to continue that it must join those who have gone to make way for those who will come yes, there are words for this feeling of my soul words that will yet come from this heart and this pen but not today -------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

(big hugggsssssssss) Oh Sven, when I was a little boy autumn always made me cry too because it reminded me of death and emptiness and seeing all the flowers wither broke my heart too! (wipes tears) Autumn still kind of brings me down nowadays but know He has a reason for each season and the leaves are never lifeless, just sleeping, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sven, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..."

WHO ARE YOU ANYWAYS?! When DID they let YOU out? Lovely poem from you, Sweet Man. Pretty please post more often? You could hurt me with your bare hands. You could hurt me using the sharp edge of what you say. JEWEL |
