October wind is blowing Scattering leaves upon the ground. On this quiet day Their rustling is the only sound. Night-chilled air is warming A new day has just begun And the morning sky is lighting With the rising of the sun. Crystal tears are flowing down Like dewdrops of the morn But hardly they provide relief From sadness, newly borne. Crying out, a heavy heart And torn and broken soul Are realizing now that they No longer can be whole. Tear-filled eyes gaze 'cross the land And watch the sun arise. Today, a soul went home to God And dwells within the skies. No longer on this mortal earth He looks down from above To watch over his family And guide them with his love. It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got... |

Very moving lines in this piece of poetry, which I thought was very well written. This is so true for this type of sadness.. Are realizing now that they No longer can be whole. |

This speaks so well of the long night's vigil, and the end it promised from the beginning. I hope this is an old recollection, and not a fresh event. Well written in either case. |
