Autumn
it seems as if a new day has come
the rising sun has filled my heart with hope
the cool autumn breeze has awakened the inner me
and now i can see the inner you and
how true love can really be
like the waves of the ocean or the sea
rising and falling
crashing and calming
so gentle at times it feels like the essence of peace
but like a flash of lightening it can change
and here comes the rain beating down on you
and beating down on your brain
which is exploding from the pain
causing disdain
while the smile that once lit up the world
slowly vanishes
like the setting of the sun
it is no more
then the dew forms on the new grass
and the birds sweet song in the breeze is
resounding in my ears
filling me with a sensation that i have never felt
and as the butterfly passes by
it's fluttering wings
makes me wonder and in an instant
i am astounded by the radiance of the rising sun
the power and beauty warming me
warming my soul
as the crisp orange, burnt red, brown, and green leaves
fall from the trees
i can see that a new day has come
