Waiting for The Leaves to Fall
By: Joel Faypon

 Reason kills compassion
     while he surrendered to the cowardice
     of this part of him that he let go

The saint died
     stopping the breath of an angel
     floating in the warm void of the unknown

Reason killed the season
     that gave the gift of life
     to a faceless mother
     disgraced right there and then

When he refused
     to let the angel come out
     again and be faced
     with yet another unknown

There he watched himself  
     transform into an unrecognizable
     creature that murders fate
Watching himself in a mirror
     without a reflection

Waiting in vain for change
Disturbed and waiting
     for the leaves to fall.
