Love Never Fades

the morning air staggers above the lake
through trees, i almost feel it kissing me
my thoughts spiral down like leaves amidst fall
this emptiness is more than i can take
beneath closed eyes you are all that i see
yet emptiness haunts within morning's call

Every line beautifully crafted. From " The morning air staggers...my thoughts spiral down like leaves amidst fall---" every line is so totally alive as objects become living characters. Great work

I love your line, "my thoughts spiral down like leaves amidst fall". I could see everything as vividly as you described it. A beautiful, beautiful poem, Sandra! I think that I will be adding this one to my favorites!
