September, Again How many beautiful songs Give praise to September How many years will go by Till I won’t remember, That was to be our always month But always dissolved in a March freeze When elsewhere, you found warmth As I, found my knees Learning to bounce, then From pillar to post As rolling fog on the plains Brings slivers of ghosts And I see them now, Within the trees With the wolves and bison Dead memories I wouldn’t be a June bride So looked toward the fall To be taken by you And to give you my all So when the fog rolled in On this September morn I felt the time roll, too, As that “little death” is still mourned. Not that I miss you, No, it’s truly not so But the death of a dream, ‘twas a most terrible blow For we thought to abhor The sounds of divorce And we stated in stride We’d know not its remorse. I try to fall through this month Without counting the years, But the fog brings the feel And time? Well, it fair seared My mind with what could have been And for sure, of what was, And you’d think, decades later I’d lose this faint buzz Of those promises still here For I had believed in them so But they remain in my ears Albeit sans glow So like the fog in drift Till the sun comes to burn I’ll scatter this ash And nevermore yearn For what love you so carelessly cast And pray the fog shall melt the past. |

Karilea . . . But the death of a dream, ‘twas a most terrible blow For we thought to abhor The sounds of divorce And we stated in stride We’d know not its remorse. Yes, right now for me *smile and hugs* beautiful writing xxoo |

Now that was a tad emotional over my morning coffee, now I have salt in my cup! Beautiful writing as always Karilea, and I thougth I would tell you what September means to me - housework! I don't want to know where I am heading, it will spoil my journey. |
