October Sun
She lingers on the edge of warmth
savoring a cooling kiss
weakened as the distance grew
wondering – how’d it come to this.
Why does she long for distant shores
soft touch of newer, fresher winds
why must her shadows slowly fade
to dark beneath horizon’s bend.
As maples shed blood toned wardrobes
migrating lover’s dot the sky
she feels no pangs or leavings angst
for love’s not love when lovers cry.
