The Leaves Are Falling In My WorldA Poem by GooeyEver look out your window on a rainy Autumn day and just wonder?The leaves are falling From trees so high And tears are crawling From my eyes as I sigh Slowly reflected in the mirror I'm looking out my window At the world beyond I'm not sure if what I see though, Is the sun that in the morning dawned? Or the moon that glistens bright Among the puffs, oh wind dispersed Not a word is spoken, at first sight of light Summer heals what Winter cursed The iced and frozen, they melt, they icicles At the sound of Spring's delight And wash away; dissolve the sadness, into tiny particles Yet still the wind is roaring, showing all its freezing might And the sunlit sunshine rushes in Looking into your tearful eyes A gentle breeze now resides, where the wind had been Bloomed were all the flower petals, and the butterflies Awakened were the smiles of love As birds sang and chirped a cheerful song Holding hands of freedom, both here and there, above Never mind the timeless time, spent here, surely long And let the angels hold a grudge For heaven here is better, than the heaven way up high Here smiling spirits laugh at the jury and the judge For passing guilt on our happy hearts, for flying in the sky Holding hands as we ascend the clouds Looking down at forests of oceans and deserts of lakes Jumping high as we cry aloud! As the mirror slowly cracks and brakes Taking with it all the times we cried We knock down the doors of jealous spite! As we sit upon the steps, of our will electrified I cannot help but screech in fright As a giant shadow blocks the sun Only to reveal itself, a dreamy cloud of my delight At touch of hands, warm with faith We attempt this one final leap As our hopes swish ever higher, I'm afraid it's much too late Back by my window I awake, I realize I had climbed a mountain much too steep Watching leaves fall from a distant mile Now knowing dreams enchant my faith, I curl up in my world and smile, wait. © 2013 GooeyAuthor's Note
