Autumn Alone

Dearest Autumn of glory and rage of windswept memory still alive on the page I ponder and dream of love once held for now the dusty book alone on the shelve If only to rekindle a fire of orange glow a lifetime of promise of love I bestow Each leaf of gold fire tattered torn..........

Hello Rick, nice to see your hear today.. Missing you and your poem... a very nice note to: Autumn :-) I like the way you are comparing broken promises and long dreams to flaky leaves... that fell as well...
