Fading Away

` Stood alone watching the leaves slowly fall Floating to earth like these teardrops I cry Hearing the echoes of darkness now call Seeking an end to the breaths I did sigh Hollowed emotions now dangle the rope Climbing to locate the use of this place Winters of solitude lessen the hope Nothing is something my soul can erase Life without you in this sorrowed display Brings on the shadows of emptiness felt Seasons are shifting as sunsets turn gray Bidding farewell to this hand I’ve been dealt Here on the eve of this autumn’s cold start Fading away in my last broken heart 9/30/19 Written for the: Autumn Sonnet Poetry Contest Sponsored by: John Hamilton

Hello Chris Green, I do not like to see summer go. Autumn is here but summer wants to stay a bit longer. Tomorrow it will be hot and humid. Love, Peace, Joy. Darlene
