An Infinite Finale In Gray

~ Clouded skies somberly cascade upon motionless vistas, floating unrehearsed melancholy hues where muted feelings roam on an autumn morning echoing a weary winter dream I sit beneath a weeping willow’s unhurried leaves fluttering like silent wind chimes, quietly pacing unheard melodies, as dandelions seek the sun now merely an absent reflection in my own tears And I reminisce of the days when magnolia petals were our sunrise, sweetly scenting the virginal dawn in soft aromatic whispers, lazily lingering upon our skin when your smile was my every morning Now I wait below wilting branches, listless arches desperately reaching but never touching the ground, allowing desolate thoughts to wallow as the soft earth reclaims me from an infinite finale in gray ~ Inspired by Sandra Adams poem Crimson Tears

Thanks my friend. I wrote this the same day she posted hers but must have got sidetracked and never posted it. I found it today. Glad you liked it.

Thank you so very much Sandy for your kind words and inspiration. I don't even remember when you posted that poem but I wrote this one the same day and then failed to post it. I found it today. : ) Your poetry is always an inspiration to me my friend.
