My grip is slipping, must be fall

In spring I didn't slip at all

I'm brittle, and my color's changed

My molecules are not the same

It's hard for me to face the fact

That death is near, I won't be back

A relative will take my place

But they won't have my smile or grace

Oh my, that wind is swift and cold

Or is that just my ancient soul

And yet I've lived for just one year

My grip is gone---I'm out of here

    Well William ,because you have neveransweredd ONE of my poems in the five years I have been on YAP Crap .. I'm going to answer yours because I'm not a BABY .. LOL

    The night is light

    the day is darkening

    the wild wind never is a blowing

    I'm siting in the back of the sky

    the clouds are above me

    and when the moon is overhead

    it's at my feet cos I am Dead ..

    If you don't like it .. Put it where the sun don't shine LOL

    Lovely!

    On the whims on whimsy winds,

    blowing in the breeze;

    Our time has come to float away,

    as we flutter from our trees.

    No more green to grace us,

    Just wisps of ancient, wrinkled;

    Light enough to float away;

    Crushed underfoot and crinkled.

    Like a leaf, some day we too will leafve.

    I commented on prior poem and was glad you posted

    this again. Also, for commenting on my last one sir,

    my answer is laconic (at least for me, an accomplishment, he he):

    Very good piece of introspection and reflection for us all.

    Congrats

    if a leaf should fall

    and no one's there to see it

    could it have been pushed?
