Love Poem: Heart's Autumn

Written by: Frederic Parker

Heart's Autumn

To flee among the trees that lived and died
Hidden in shadows of limbs long and bent
Still trusting love, a belief that has lied
To find the empty depth of your torment
Confusion searches for hope in silence
Remembering days that have come and gone
This world of darkness is growing immense
As you await long nights, following dawn
Escape these trees and go to the meadow
To seek a sun between the clouds that part
And find beneath the rain a bright rainbow
It's where life is, that can fill your heart

Will you lay among the trees of dismay?
Are you buried beneath the leaves that stay?
