Let Autumn Fall : Sad Poetry

written by Poet : saltbg4k


grave

Let Autumn Fall

 

I once would celebrate

The spice in the air

A warm fire at night

Neath’ the harvest moon’s sight

 

Now the season brings upon it

The burden of demise

The flames on the hillside

A mockery to my eyes

 

The truth of the barren

Desiccated on the ground

The promise of the winter

A comforting sound

 

From July I have waited

Devour my frozen heart I plea

Let autumn’s season fall

And may winter swallow me

 

Take me to the place my soul lives

Away from the splendor of thee

Let me find ease in the empty

Among the branches of misery’s tree.

 

Sherrie Ball
