Falling LeavesA Poem by Abraxasbird Golden brown, Autumn leaves that fall nimbly in Autumn's breeze Resigned and indignant Starlight glittered upon my shoulders For all of a fading moment The world grew larger Small and insignificant My heart in the dark Sang aloud alone Tired, torn, and ajar Vast innumerable parsecs of space Seemed to hold their breath While perennial and abject My mind roamed, absent Taking in large gulps of night air I quieted the flutters of my soul leering as the clouds slid across the sky The inward laughter that affirmed Yes, God, you are rather sly For her love was like. .. Trying to catch a fallen leaf Blowing in the wind Eluding my grasp so nimbly And though I caught that leaf I knew no matter how strong I'd hold on Eventually it, too, would be gone © 2017 AbraxasbirdAuthor's Note
