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........ ___________________________________________________ 6/15/15 For the Contest: Pastel Reflections Sponsor- Craig Cornish Inspired by the music of Kevin Kern "Pastel Reflections" (Be sure to listen to this beautiful music).... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ6owzWtjIs

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.

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

Congratulations on your win, a beautiful poem, I found this one to be difficult with the melody having a pause then a few more notes you seemed to have solved it..well done

Thanks so much, Frederic.....yes, these songs are tricky to write for, I have listened over and over to the music, and find it so beautiful and sad! I do enjoy this kind of challenge. Thank you for all your kindness on many of my poems. I never take your thoughtfulness for granted ! :)
