Autumn Wind
Emmanuel Dichosa Nov 2017
As the tree sheds leaves in the fall
So as a man’s sentiments for a maiden
Leaving him behind, he will crawl
Onto a happy life with no burden

He wiped the valley of tears, stood strong
And born a new journey, he will face
Every action could go wrong
Every tough obstacle, he shall ace

However strong, still ended
The obstacle of the new journey
Step by step, he transcended
Until he reached the final test

Twenty-nine days before the day
The day she was born, he will admit
On how her smile was his sun’s ray
And her eyes were his guiding light

Guiding light from the blinded darkness
He shall escape through her radiance
By her grandiose smile, he was victorious
Of fleeing from the bitter past


Her existence is divine
Though imperfect, still found a way
To save a stranger from his dying soul
And his outer surroundings, toxic

She helped him move on
Like Hermes sending a message
Quick, clean and precise
And seemingly like the speed of light

He prepares for the big gamble
As an arrow pulls itself back
He makes himself stern
For his aim, the luminous one

— The End —
