Life's end

After a cascade of rich, autumn leaves
petals collapsing into the hands of the Earth
the wandering trees still, yet grieve
nature gives all it is worth.
The yearning sky has closed its doors
opening them for other days.
Sparrows searching in muddy pores
in the glory of the morning haze.
A squirrel scatters, foraging
In the mossy sea of an abandoned field
a pair of gleaming eyes watches
Its burning coat of amber revealed.
Staining the white roses scarlet
life gives off a final lingering aroma
A concoction of sweet breath and darkness
The sorrowful wind as lost as a roamer.
Light is a farewellgift from the darkness
for those on their way to die.
Time can notmake a promise
So radiance leaves without a goodbye.
Pain punctures the heart into stone
though a ray of sun still peaks through.
My aching heart is as dry as bone
but the bleeding roses still remind me of you.
