Poem: |
FALL
|
| |
Poplars raise their arms in prayer
Above the silence of the street.
A carpet of humanity
Forms the earth that bears our feet.
We shall soon be yesterday.
Time’s yellow autumn, like a thief,
Steals life, and shadows it away,
Leaving no testament of grief;
And still, despite finality,
There’s beauty in the falling of a leaf.

I really enjoyed your poem titled, "Fall".
I especially love that it contains so much depth and meaning in just a few brief words. Very nicely done!
