Amid the Jagged Shadows
"Amid the jagged shadows of mossy leafless boughs"- Samuel Taylor Coleridge
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Encompassed by autumn's gloam
Naked limbs reach for the sky
But it's just the season in which they call home
As they endure till spring is nigh
In the tangled obscurity of distant thought
We may find our season of gloom
Lost within memories the winds have brought
From melancholy to the joy of a spring bloom
These sentiments are not rooted in the mind
But float freely as through them we browse
And answers we seek we may yet find,
"Amid the jagged shadows of mossy leafless boughs"
