I Am Autumn

"this poem is not about what is written, but what is not written..." My smile brings shores of shadows in the sky A smile unsure of happiness and bliss I touch the trees and watch their branches cry A tear itself leaves from my face amiss As tears and leaves descend into abyss I come descending from the grey above To bring a quarter of my seasons love A love compared to death, natures demise And with my lips I kiss the things you love Secretly keeping Summer's butterflies! Johnny Sumler The Unwritten 7-2-11
