Autumn Leaves...
















Wrinkled faces – worn and old
Hardened hands – frowny brow
Senses blurred- numb and cold
Memories move- to and fro
Lonely lives –sticks to hold
Tireless waves – of sorrow
Night and day – tales retold
Silent wait - for tomorrow
Autumn leaves –brown and gold
Meanings change – as we grow…

  20. The lines are so simple...
    Meaning are so obvious...
    Understanding the write up is not difficult...
    Things written are so true...
    BUT... only GREAT WRITERS can produce simple, true, and obvious writings...
    It is difficult to say the most simple things...

  25. Creative - but a little sad.
    I adore the fireworks of autumn leaves and, in my own autumn, will welcome that last sleep when it comes...

  26. I like this - just today I had autumn on my mind. I can't wait until the leaves turn and I can collect more leaves with interesting patterns.
