Fall

old leaves are falling
sailing, reluctant, kiss death
the fragile air breaks 
healing hearts are letting go
love letters, clutched until now

oh, no, are they going to throw their love letters away?? I could never do that! I love how you combined the letters with that melancholy feeling fall gives us. And the letting go. . . . thanks for the heads up on my typo. LUv, Andrea ps, my captcha says NUTS. hahaha.
