One Autumn Day

As the wind ripped the leaves from the trees
I thought of you
As I stood there like those trees
Stripped of all their glory
Their only crime
Giving birth to beauty

I watched them fall
All those brilliant leaves
And knew you could never stop
Poetry in motion.

THIS POEM IS NOT FOR ANY CONTEST

Paul Callus Date: 9/15/2014 10:40:00 AM This is beautiful, Lainie. Giving birth to beauty could ask for sacrifice of other things, but as in a cycle there also exists a rebirth to compensate....like those trees that will soon return to their former glory. Reminds me of a mother that gives birth to her child.....// paul Login to Reply Elaine George Date: 9/16/2014 4:32:00 PM Thank you for dropping by, Paul. Much appreciated.
