One By One By

one by one by
one the crimson
autumn leaves
by one by one
leave trees
as you have gone
past here
beyond eternity
too far I fear
where you are
while I am here:
those who go
suffer those
left here--
I cry weep
with remorse
for not loving
so much more
of you
my last kiss
on cold lips--
farewell, farewell
precious love,
farewell

Always a difficult thing to say, farewell, and you say it so simply...felt.

I submit we live in a momentary dream when we awake all is a mystery controlled by an ego that makes us less sure of any reality, then it all passes.
