Ba Wondrous Fall Poem by Barry A. Lanier

Intent upon her destined course,
Led by some blind and powerful force.
In her lay power of love and hate,
Was it one, not the other, that ruled our fate?

When two hearts enter, the long course begins,
Fate always has ruled, which one to win.
Was it old grief, that decided to stay?
One of us lost out, somewhere along the way.

Time passed by, fleeting moments awry,
Hearts not fully captured, still wondering why.
Balancing unsteady, upon this earthly perch,
A wounded spirit, a soul to search.

How could a flower, suddenly bloom, then die?
Age old wisdom questions, still wonders why.
But love giveth, and love taketh all,
Yet oh how it was, such a wondrous fall.
