Poem Title:
Poem
Like the autumn weaves warmth With hope and grace, Inspirations in temptations of laughing scarlet, Blazing tangerine and glorious gold, Soothing away the darkness as beautiful Casts its shadow over my spirit, A dream reflecting peace that rouses me to remember Where there was a choice, reserved for joy, Light was the sustaining power – Arriving in my unwritten absence, When bold flames of passionate bronze Faded into the summer and reminded me why, Why I was like the dwindling moon, sliding beneath Stardust dreams, coloring the night In ebony history – grimly waning ways, Soothing away the fog of yesterday and creating Intimacy in the bonds of laughter and compassion, The seclusion so liberating, smiling into the moments, Erasing the black and putting away the smallest tasks Excusing melancholy and blaming dusk For its exasperating way of giving in to doubt, Listening to the enchantress, lunation Who boldly praises the nocturnal memories, Roaring and seeking temptations, So wise and wonderful they cling to the flesh, Like sweat shimmering and sliding, Sticking to the moments in an abiding grace – Is memory so brave as the reflection it gave, The intimacy between two echoes, Night and day, yesterday, the past – weaved Into the present moment, erasing the wistful wish Who dreams light yet focuses on the night And remembers only to agree with autumn’s brave kindness, The memory like a taunting of two thoughts, One of love and one of sorrow, each with their own fears Their very own tears and so many trusted years When everywhere there was light Poured out on endless stirrings of what it is To give in to the past and its spirit, The blessings rising like a mist across the mountains, The moments when life fades in sterling sands Visions of kindness when life is truth And life binds the days with praise, An aching praise who restores and renews, Invites the beautiful to breathe And the sadness to grieve… This is the past and it’s healing will give hope To the ones who remember A clinging ache, meant to break… Yes, there is victory in the faith who believes God wins – in the end, GOD WINS!
