Eternal Glow

As the rain begins to wash off her fears
Her thoughts return to the present
The smell of the rain brings back memories of all those years

The pale reminiscent of a rainy day
Melding clouds obscure her face
Hoping that the wind would blow them to a place far away

When the rain would disappear
And the wind would lift her up
As the eternal glow of her smile brightens the world around her

Her light pours into this gloomy day
All the memories are left behind
But the embers of joy within each moment won't fade away

As her smile brings the eternal glow to the day...

Fall

As the winds change direction and the sun grows colder

Her thoughts veiled by the faint shadows

All life slowly fades into the grey

Alone she stands brighter than ever

Revealing the approaching fall

The fascinating world around, a reticent giver

Was never her own to keep

What was borrowed shall be bequeathed

Truth, a bitter pang in her heart

Reflected within the lonely tears

Time trickles through as the day grows older

Her memories held dear fall apart

The sullen pieces drift around

Scintillating for the very last time

Painting the sky in hues of solemn colors

The dying light leaves behind shadows darker

Her thoughts obscured by sorrow

As the day finally draws to an end

Her eyes closed in complete silence

Anticipating the arrival of fall
