Twenty four dead roses Heat waves and reposes No one knows what never was Autumn breezes sing in melancholy hues Flowers dance around paupers grave Buried now yet never saved From life's despair or a loving hand Sadness is the graves last grand stand Loneliness lost in cobbled stone alleys No one sees the empty tear Anxiety knifes the lonely mans fear Autumn winds chant yet no one hears Four and score and long ago Childhood memories in rivers flow Now dry and scorched on withered page Dead poets lost in the mind of a sage

The end of September celebrated. Although it may sound anxious, in fact autumn brings beautiful colours to distract us, give us happy thoughts :)

So much sadness in this write.. Arthur, A long, long time ago, I fell into deep feeling of anxiety. My heart started to race, a feeling of doom after my sister died. Until I changed my whole life did I finally heal... I hope you find that peace after having a near death experience ... Hugs Eve ~`*
