A
deep sigh of discontent
shudders
through my lonely body,
as
I gaze across the meadow,
drinking
in the waning vibrant colors
of
yet another solitary autumn day...
Feeling
the warmth cool,
while
the sun slips beneath
the
hungrily awaiting horizon...
Smelling
the distinct cloying sweetness
of
fields, newly mown of their nurturing hay...
Watching
as one by one and two by two,
the
small creatures and birds
prepare
for the imposition of night...
I
too prepare, alone,
for
the coming hours of darkness...
The
night stealing all light from my sight,
those
hours of darkness, marauders of my soul,
plundering
serenity from my heart...
But
it's not fair of me to blame my malcontent
on
an innocent sightless night...
For
true blame lies in the harsh arms
of
time and fate, those inevitable makers
of
life's ups and downs, loves and hate...
In
whose arms my aching heart now resides,
held
tight by the restraints of lost time...
Wrapped
in the all encompassing embrace
of
an unwanted lonely fate...
A
fate, mingled with that of another,
our
souls so totally entwined with one another,
whose
heart and mine share but a single beat...
As
the last blinding moments of day
give
way to the first brilliant stars of night,
I
too give myself up to that which surely is to be...
Comforted
by the knowledge that we shall
at
last live out two lives as one...
Basking
together in our loves warm light...
To
this end, comes rest...
A
deep sigh of contentment releases
the
warmth of love to surround my soul,
keeping
me safe through yet ,
another
solitary autumn night...
