Light plays

on the surface of the leaves

glances off your hair

follows me in dreams.

 

August turns

waves its hand  to summer smiles

a circle of goodbyes

pledges we will keep

 

following love.

 

You turn

sadness in your eye

a tremor in your smile

as if to ask me why.

 

Rain comes

battling through the night

I turn to touch your side

but you’re not there.

 

Light plays

another day another year

how they have flown from me

leaving me right here

 

listening to the breeze

whisper love songs..
