Thinking of You....

When the leaves fall down 
As eternal love,
A drought hit town 
Dreams of clouds above

When the birds they're excited
By the morning glow
Or an old poem's recited
In a single flow

When a dog it dies
From sheer cold
But the raven still flies
Though hundred years old

When the old man he sleeps
With eyes wide open
And the heart it weeps
For the word's unspoken

When the men in war
Shall rest in peace
And their mothers too far
Got no more wish.

Like a beautiful dove
In a glorious flight,
Or two souls in love
In their final night

When a couple wish 
They'd never wed
When you cant cherish 
The joy you get

Shall a bullet though small
Run through my chest
Though my mind may not recall
Thinking of you... I shall rest

Congratulations, Sangam, on having your well-written poem featured this week. Falling out of love is sooo painful. Not even a bullet gives releief as the soul faces The Father in ceaseless death. I hope you're feeling great! Falling back into love isn't easy, but it is possible through daily forgiveness and vigilant kindnesses. Good love.... Keep writing. Lovingly, Dane
