contest- Write Sixteen Beautiful Lines

sponsor- Constance La France

The rich green leaves of Summer die in Autumn
like a love that is no more
both defenseless to the currents of change
tumbling toward an unfamiliar stream
flowing out of a sea
where yesterdays have already passed
carrying dusted memories, entwined by the twist of life
where wishes are hidden with lost stars
of memorialized misperceptions
having come and gone like vanishing time
when the shivering swathe arrived 
taking both the leaves and love
on a hopeless journey to non-existence
when emotionless worlds acquired their life-blood
causing my eyes to flow with streams
out of a sea of sadness

so cliche but relevant that it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. your soulful, lovely offering gave me good goosebumps, frederick!

How sorrowfully but beautifully you've written of lost love in your lines, Frederic. When it becomes as hidden as lost stars, there's nothing left except melancholy memories... and when they come unbidden, tears flow again.
