"Dead leaves lay still until the wind takes them here and there: even the last flower is withered: yet there is a beauty in decay. " Quote by _Constance La France Desolate, weeping, she mourns the past In silent tears – her memory decides Hues, both beautiful and vibrant, trembling With the melancholic thoughts – heartbroken Feelings erasing the serenity, the sweet With bitterness, defeat… Inconsolable, her tears fall all over the autumn’s Tenderness, fears breathing a sorrow through the darkness, Distraught by the godless dread, the agonizing Memories floating, dancing through the make believe Fantasizing in weary stillness, quietly consoling Mourning the moments when yesterday’s peace Blazed through the heart, breathing grace wherever It touched a thought… Devastated by the urgency of a prayer, the harvest Has come to those who remember – like life This is the final promise stirring up gentle flames of regret, Rotting, crumbling, dwindling away into a past, Alive with colors – visions twisting through dark branches Portraying a past who delights in remembering Love, hope, forever… With the heart perishing, the wind unsteady, robbing the Dreams, nervous – shaking like the leaves who waltz Through the intensity of a thought, a wobbly ache, truth Displayed in melodies of remembrance, evoking Memorials in the crisp air of an autumn light, fallishness Vibrant with flames in crunchy snaps, leaves washing Away all the melancholy with the urge to despair Over the coming of this frozen wish defeating even Memories, leaves decaying… Over the spice of a question mark feeling, The blending of yesterday’s sunset and tomorrow’s Fleeting freedom from the onslaught of regret, The making of a weariness that never restores the Burning dejection of a past who portrays only the doubt, The dismal ache that rides on wings of flaming scarlet, tangerine and brilliant gold, buttery soft – leaves so stunning Even the autumn’s darkest stories can’t paint them Silent or downhearted!
