In Movements through Time~ By Susandale

11/23/2015

In movements through time 
Autumn evokes the buried
Sleeping, but always there
We hear it in the sounds of rain 
and the vagabond road

Let the silenced voice speak
Declare that autumn is the death
that enhances the existence of life
being flown off 
on the wings in pursuit 
of a persistent yearning 

Often left in the hollow places of October 
Where September’s fading blossoms once roamed

Illusive, tenacious, the yearning
Like a moth to light
A heap of broken images drifting
through the territory of dreams
Where lie memory and space
geography and time

All coming to fruition in the bounty of September
only to die in the cold hardness of November
