The Last Leaf

Emotions

When autumn winds blow cold and hard

tugging pulling as the last leaf holds on

to the last of summers promise

 

A promise never quite realised

never quite fulfilled

 

She whispered so many sweet things

of fragrances new

of delights not yet tasted

 

She swirls inside body and soul

almost begging to take hold

 

Even the many showers could not dampen the spirit

a spirit more than ready to soar up and reach the sky

 

But the days draw on

as shadows grow long and the final leaf fell

sounding out a silent death knell

 

For the leaf had fallen

giving in to winters first gale.

Author's Note

About the fall? look a little closer you may find it's not that at all...

Reviews

[Corset]

The emotional fall, so many meanings could be derived, hard to imagine a good thing with death knells and such, but could be just the end of an Era or season, or an old way of feeling.

[Wondering Mind]

A different kind of fall.
