All The Leaves Are Brown

All The Leaves Are Brown

 

We walked.

And for the briefest moment I looked into your eyes

and glimpsed the moon and stars.

A map perhaps of some future place here on earth;

a shaft of light that pierced my heart

and made me giddy with excitement.

Transfixed, confused and hopeful

I followed the cues,

and found a woman and life partner

like none before.

A lady clothed in an overcoat

of many colours

who has brought such warmth

and life and reason

back to my dying soul.

Nothing more beautiful than the rekindling of life and passion in a dying soul and no one could say it more beautifully than you. Loved it!

how refreshing to read .. i am so happy for the speaker ... as i read about the giddy confusion i thought ...oh boy! poor sap .. but your turn is positive and long lived .. great to read about partners that stay because of love :) and i think you have said it very well .. not a hitch to complain about i'm afraid ;)
