Colors Fading, Hear Them Sigh...
autumn leaves
upon the ground
colors fade
from gold to brown
cold wind brushing
across my cheek
whispers softly
in my ear
that the years
are quickly
passing by
'neath the starlit
winter skies
colors fading
hear them sigh
dont understand
where all my youth
was spent
how all
that I once loved
is now
nothing more
than shifting sand
upon these
desert shores
everlasting
immortal years
of distant youth
have flown
their scattered musings
lost
in space and time
seasons
never lasting
have left their mark
in their passing
gaunt and jaded
my light
dimmed and faded
the fire within
has flared
and gone
autumn leaves
upon the ground
colors fade
from gold to brown
and the years
are quickly
passing by
'neath the starlit
winter skies
colors fading
hear them sigh

Ah the seasons change. And at what expense to our perception of time and attainability? This arouses many questions and is insighting some sure-to-produce words within me. Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem.
