 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

The dead leaves of autumn


The reality of each new day arising
knowing my dreams have faded
like each cloud full of rain
hopes and ambitions never seen to fruition
now the dead leaves of autumn
are all that remains.
          
Springtime was here then gone in a moment
innocence and virtue
wiped quick from my mind
feeling so lost
in a world full to overflow
knowing nothing was certain except life was unkind.

For all I have seen and witnessed as one man
leaves me nothing more to ponder
of the rage in man's heart
I feel so very lost on a strange world somewhere far away
and each sunrise that greets me
only tears me apart.
