Dark in the night
the leaves
blow by.
They swirl
and go around
like my mind
in a hurry.
I find that
the confusion
of the autumn
is somewhat like
my life.
No rhyme
or reason,
no just explanation.
Only the mere
sound of the swirling
and swooshing
that reminds me
of my dreams
and hopes.
From the leaves
sweeping down
the street,
I remember
what I once had
and long to
get it back.
It is
the happiness
and joyfulness
I once experienced.
Now it's
lost in the
abyss somewhere,
away from
my heart
where I so
longingly wish
it was back,
but in some
far off
corner of my
heart...
I know
it best there;
away
