Notes About The Poem

Fading Colors

Rain pours against the windowpane,
As all the world has gone gray,
With dark skies all the noontide,
And foul weather keeps us inside.
Like vivid autumn leaves fallen,
Once exotic dancers on the wind,
Soon dead and buried in snowdrifts,
In keeping with the rule of the
Seasons, one dance in golden sun!
Like the afternoons daily dying,
For some vivid lives are shorter.
As the rainbow lasted for a moment,
Leaving memories before it went!

I can feel the pain of rain against that windowpane... Short days... dying before their time... And here in Chicago, 12 new inches of snow on the ground = traffic snarled or stuck in garages... Looking forward to sunnier, warmer days already. ~ Dreamer

Though they do seem almost a dream, Dreamer, we are all looking forward to those sunny days-at least not quite as far off now. ~ Me Too
