Renewal (Free verse) by emilyowey
There is a paper-thin window, A membrane in time A world between worlds, Deeper than words can reach. ‘Midst the last tail of summer And the fierce hush of cold There is a moment, A renewal of emptiness When nothing is new- Everything is dying. A swell can be felt in between. There lights dazzle, Colors claim to cover feelings. An explosion- then hush Then nothing at all, But the wind- and the still. Gusts of numbness. Loss, for the purpose of sustaining. Allowing for dormancy. Preparing for growth. Gusts of remembering, Remembering that nothing is forever. That every day, Every season has its October, Its last grand decay Before the sweet breath of calm.

Down the ladder: Requiem for Faith

Nicely said. A leaf turning red is really the departing of green chlorophyl, I'm told.

Chlorophyl? More like BOREophyl.

That said, a pretty goo poeme.

The ending of life should not be BOREphyling, should it? Ending well should be the goal, the final splash, the burst of color before a productive leaf hands it over to the tree and goes down to become another part of the tree.
