Jacket zipped, gloves on, boots crunching leaves
With sky too gray and the air too crisp
Summer’s gone; it seems everything grieves
I’m walking alone and hear only the wind wisp
Isolation, jealousy, confusion
Iciness has chilled my heart and bones
Inside and outside combine in fusion
No peace: just more trials and groans
“It’s not worth it. I’ll take no more”, I say
My feet keep walking. They do not listen —
To the next destination they convey
As though my mind and feet have no union
And as I continue through autumn trees,
I find beautiful wild yellow daisies
Daisies Should Be Wild
like aces in poker. A fine write - love the unison images, the pensive mood, the crisp thoughts that mimick the chill. Marvy contemplative penning this. Loved it. - Lady A
