A Warm Fall Breeze

LOOK NOT FOR DEATH FOR SOON SHE WILL ARRIVE
THE DAY, THE HOUR, THE MINUTE SECOND SWEET
NOR MOON NOR SUN NOR WIND NOR RAIN DEPRIVE
THE BODY PANDERS NOW, SOON WITH HER WE MEET

HOW TIME IS ONE THAT STEALS THE NIGHT DEVINE
OTHER SCOFF AND WASTE THE PRECIOUS TIME  
FOR SOME TOO SOON THE REAPER FEEDS HIS WINE
OTHER FACE THE DAY BY BLADE,TWINE OR CRIME
 
TIS THROUGH MY EYES I SEE HOW ALL BECOMES
I SIT AND WATCH FROM CLOSE AND FAR ALIKE
IN DARK I SIT AND LISTEN WITH ALUM
WORKING EACH ONE WE TRY TO BUILD THE DYKE
 
OF SEASONS, THE BEST TO ME IS FALL
AND NOW I DIGEST, DEATH BECOMES US ALL.
Author's Notes/Comments: 

Reflection is bittersweet. Sometimes it's like watching a movie through a window. The events repeat themselves and the outcome is always the same. Sanity unravels a little more with each new episode. Strength in our own being is sometimes all we have...so revel in it!!!

This is deliciously dark,

This is deliciously dark, pensive and wistful like many of my 3am thoughts but much more eloquent. Your notes really nailed the mood and the mindset. Beautifully composed and resonant. Enjoyed!
