Matthew Brackley Poet Ballad

Amongst Life's Scatterings

The leaves fell
In an Autumn sky
In an Autumn dell
 

I could not see
For, such beauty
Overwhelmed me

 
Amongst life’s scatterings
A beautiful leaf lay
Crisp and pure
Set apart
Above, the sky azure
 

A leaf of Spring
A leaf of Summer
With all its’ richness
In shades of green
 

Now, in Autumn
its’ power lost
Not its’ life
The colour did bring
Beauty
Amongst the starkness
Of Winter darkness

Carolyn Devonshire March 20, 2009 at 8:29 PM Beautiful words with rich images. Somehow, I see the stages in life as well as the seasons of the year in your poem, Matthew. Wish we could be leaves of Spring throughout our days. Nice work! Love, Carolyn
