Autumn

Lonely shadow of wind swept grain Longing for her caress, so sweet As the birds mourn with forlorn tweet Lonesome wind laced with dark red stain Her time had come to fade away She wished she had more time to stay The morning calls for kiss of rain Dew quenched the drought of missing her But falling leaves gave the answer The blown out souls mourned in deep pain The night stole the light of the day Though angels came to sing and pray For they will not see her again Until the time for fellowship They wished she will not lose that grip Lonely shadow of wind swept grain Lonesome wind laced with dark red stain The morning calls for kiss of rain The blown out souls mourned in deep pain For they will not see her again September 30, 2022, 4:22 AM In Remembrance of Connie - Autumn Theme Poetry Contest (1st Place) Sponsored by: Suzanne Delaney
