Leaves That Fell Before Autumn.

Lost in the woods…I asked god for help. But he was busy with one of his wives, I took a deep breath, and looked down The vines crept up my feet, but What they didn’t understand was that: I had absolutely nothing to give them; My body is blood n bones, turning to dust The cliff, far away, was magnificent I ascended the highness, slowly: Only to find the hues of the sky under the setting sun, More appealing than making love. I picked a spot and surrendered to the rocks.. The clouds didn’t overshadow my sorrow The wind didn’t dry my tears The mountains didn’t hide me from myself But I still confessed to nature, The sins and the secrets.. Mingled with the fleeting specks of joy Designed my fabricated days, As I raced the waterfall in revealing: I thrilled the rocks of my rudeness, The trees of my passion, The mountains of my desires, And the wind of my choices; My heart was not in this world, And my soul was thoughtful; So I smiled for one last time, Wilderness was all that was left of me. ~~Thank You for the reviews and comments~~
