Leaves of Wishes

Missing image



The chill of Autumn running through me
adding to my loneliness
Trees bare and stark
The beauty that once was
lying on the concrete

 

A feeling of being in a place
where I am totally understood
overwhelms me
Do they sense my loss
Every leaf that is swept up
into the wind seems to know my pain
Is my handicap so obvious

Gathering the gems that are now homeless
I make a wish on each one I lay down
I wish  for my tears to end
I wish for the pain in my heart to cease
I wish I could see the world as it was when you loved me
I wish you were here

    This is breathtaking my friend. I sense your lonliness and sadness that you felt. The despair feeling that he left you with.You penned this on to the utmost.

    What we sometimes think is solitude is sometimes rehabilitation. In other to find oneself, sometimes, we must deplete completely. It touches me deeply to know that you are or were feeling so alone, battered, sad, hurt, abandoned, neglected and more... I do think God never allows one to suffer more than he should. I love this piece. When a great soul cries, a wonderful listens, and a bless heart always come to her rescue. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing. you have a fantastic one

    That is so beautiful, you could sense the loneliness but yet the hope that lingers and the love of finding a place you can call your home. Very beautiful!
