outside your Autumn window
I stood a bit too long
to let my yearning heart
listen to your song

it would somehow soothe
my inner mounting dread
that I could not seek comfort
in what was once our bed

for you now love another
whose heart you have entwined
I am but a shadow
in your heart and in your mind

outside your Autumn window
I stood a bit too long
to revel one last time
in the beauty of your song

do not wish upon a star

it has died
and here
you are

when the rain set in,
you reached out to the sky
to feel each drop in the present,
before it passed you by.

living life in every drop
that sat upon your skin,
yesterday had long since passed
when the rain set in.

when the rain set in,
you felt yourself transform.
you were so much better,
than you were before the storm.

now, you felt transcendent,
cleansed of all your sin.
tomorrow ceased to be,
when the rain set in.

I tried to follow you
down to the water,

hoping I wouldn’t
lose my way;

never thinking
you had no plans

to return
to Summers’ embrace.

you were searching for something
that would take its place

I
was looking for my soul.
somewhere,
in quiet reflection.

when life is suspended
seconds still pass,
a river in flood
pours out of a glass

landing just inches
from yesterdays sorrow,
flowing unhindered
into tomorrow.

some move with it,
others may find
for reasons unknown,
they’ve been left behind.

it could be true,
I am waiting
for you.
