in the autumn sun
he waits for her
filling time
guessing
the colour of her outfit
all the tiny buds
in each leaf
a new season
slowly unfolds
my heart beats to its rhythm
last light
a trail of dark clouds
hovering over the mountain
her illuminating smile as
i murmur goodbye to her ear
after the failed project
the trauma
the graceful leaves
trailing the wind
soothes my pain
