Carrie Richards Poet Lyric

Pastel Reflections

I'll be waiting here
wading through the seasons 
Seems I can't recall the
      reasons you aren't here with me 

As I watch the trees
turn from gold,   -  to brown,     -  a leaf falls down
swirling around, catching a tear it's found 

Sometimes even love
is like a leaf that's tossed in the wind...
So lost, it crumbles into a broken dream-               

Days have tumbled down
I've wondered how to live without you
Winter - summer -  spring, -  and fall  -  have come again

Trees are losing leaves
Each one had a story
They have learned to say goodbye, without the sound of tears

I have watched the leaves
drifting from the trees, then fall on down
without a song, to say goodbye....    goodbye

All the while, I wait
Just searching for a sign in the wind
Beneath my feet the earth has turned to gold and red

Leaves have turned from gold
and I am growing cold, in the rain
Tears from trees fall down around my head, again

,,,,

Seasons pass on by
But l'll keep believing
Hoping that the spring might bring a second chance with you

I have watched the leaves
lifting from the trees, then falling down
without a song, to say goodbye....        goodbye

I am watching leaves
lifting from the trees
gone, without a  song.........  gone, without a song         to say goodbye........

Isaiah Zerbst July 16, 2015 at 8:00 PM Pure perfection, Carrie! Worthy as can be of the first place. Flows as effortlessly I say as the leaves falling. Listened to the music while reading and had absolutely no trouble following. Well done.

Joyce Johnson July 16, 2015 at 1:03 PM congratulations on your lovely poem and win. I truly enjoyed. I am slowly coming back to being able to type a few lines and to read and comment. I had my concussion in March and my broken arm on Easter and have been out of commission all spring and summer. I will never catch up. Love, Joyce Carrie Richards July 16, 2015 at 1:31 PM Dear Joyce, I'm so sorry you have had such a long winter and spring recovering, and do hope day by day, you feel stronger and able to catch your breath. You have been missed !! God Bless !!
