“Some leaves hang late, some fall before the first frost--so goes the tale of winter branches and old bones.” ~ William Carlos Williams Dangling gently frail with red hue, leaves speak of winters to come and in cool breezes the trees sway with hollow voices we walk hand in hand the scarf of brown and green knitted holds you tightly barely allowing your lips to part to kiss me dancing in the park a withered lady lost with time skipping with the falling leaves parting with the sun singing a whisper of goodbye to the grandchildren who know nothing of death laughs....while they count 1, 2, 3, 4.... as she hides carefully behind the yellow park slide tomorrow winter will begin our hands clasp tighter shots of cold wind redden our noses as tornadoes of leaves and flowers spin wildly around us then a moment and the calming starts dusk about to set we sit a park bench cracked leaving us to rest 50 years from now hands aged with love hold on and children who know nothing of death will look upon us tomorrow winter will begin. |

dancing in the park a withered lady lost with time skipping with the falling leaves parting with the sun singing a whisper of goodbye to the grandchildren who know nothing of death laughs....while they count 1, 2, 3, 4.... as she hides carefully behind the yellow park slide tomorrow winter will begin wonderful, wonderful.  |
