AUTUMN SKIES

 

I found an over hearted desert 

deep in my thoughts;

that made its way down to my heart,

But when I look deeper into my heart

I found a hunger,

 

a howling that was crying loudly

deep within me;

while I looked around out side 

just to see the sheet of the autumn sky,

 

I felt my own loneliness 

weeping for the one I miss,

as the teas of fall broken down in my heart 

as the years moved along

like an old sad song,

 

across the way is a beautiful garden 

where my true love lays

Oh, how my sadden heart craved 

the years of yesterday’s.
