The falling of life's leaves

It is,
A walk through the glacial strength of the deepest greys,
And the scattered breath of pure sunlight.
The endless touch of rain,
Falling ceaseless and on fire.
The circled rise and fall,
The plaintive,
Buzzards,
Call.
It is what is left upon breeze
And what remains,
From the falling of life's leaves.
It is,
What is,
And something common amongst the breath,
Of those,
Remaining.
A passing right to life and it's living.
Those days,
Are but days amongst the many
If we're lucky.
Singular and far reaching,
Different in the calm of each eye,
A restless storm in the passing of a mind.
And standing from afar,
From that day,
And those days,
Both and all,
Fresh or however,
Old,
Each lays a layer of colour upon the sky,
And that,
Above the massing of the standing mist,
From the falling of life's leaves,
That,
Is what I hold.

Eternally

The lights are dimmed to that of candle light
The scent of raw emotion mingles through the air

Sadness stains my smile, stabbing my soul
weeping, wishing, wanting, letting go is hard

Your life left its footprints all over my heart
Some were painful, yet soft and feather like

Memories of you flow, ink~like
tattooed scars of lust and loss forever in my  thoughts

Love unbound, wounded on this day
your voice will forever carry me until we meet eternally...

I'd never hosted a competition before and I couldn't have asked for a better result than so many people having posted such amazing perspectives. Competition should be coming to a close soon so if you're on the fence or still editing a piece for submission, I hope you'll join soon.
