Tumbling leaves,
Carpet woodland's floor,
Swirling among bracken,
To the wind of Autumn's fall.
Secrets in whispers,
Hushed cries,
Once listened to,
Now simply ignored.
Vein pumped through vessels,
Bleed,
Carriageway of destiny,
Paves within roots.
Lost in dark corners,
Faded of light,
A torch burned so brightly,
Now, extinguished of life.
Love once its canvas,
Heart skipping beat,
Brushed under litter,
Of Winters deplete..........................................
