Fall

© 2011 (Jim Sularz)

 

Come sorrow there is poetry,

dry, wind tossed leaves blow here and there.

Naked trees thin shake and shiver,

no turning back Time’s rusted gears.

 

A row of sparrows, autumn heights,

blue oceans, stars, a twilight’s love.

Faded photographs, tear-filled eyes,

this season chills, Fall clouds above.

 

Cold fingers cloak a metal sky,

a Winter’s start we’ll come to know.

Our flowers bloomed that once have dried,

awake new, at last fallen snow!

Notes

This poem is really part of a trilogy. The first poem is entitled "Fall". That's the life season I'm in right now. The second poem is "Remember Me". When I wrote "Remember Me", I was deeply affected by the death of my Mother-In-Law ("will I slip away cold ashen lips") and my Father ("or slowly fade with each shallowed breath"). The poem also gives you a glimpse into some personal doubts I have about dying. The third poem "Let The Heaven's Sing" is my hopeful affirmation about the things to come and a new beginning.
