Autumn's Melancholy

Leaves fall like tears.
Color bleeds from my heart.
My world is black and gray.
Without you my son,
seasons have no meaning.

Chanson d' Automne
~Paul Verlaine

The long sobs
Of the violins
Of autumn
Wound my heart
With a languor
Monotonous.

All suffocating
And pale when
The hour strikes
I remember
The old days
And weep

And I go away
In the ill wind
that carries me off
This side and beyond
Like the
Dead leaf.

Diane,

My heart aches for you. I wish you could have a good day and not suffer so. But I do understand as much as I can. Just please remember you may feel alone, but there many praying for you. And we will never forget!
Love,
Mary E.
