Falling Poem by Barry Middleton

Falling

Rating: 5.0


fall, lover falling
you are a soft leaving
like the gentle, unnoticed slipping
of lover leaves from autumn branches

seeming strength in spring
brittle and breaking
with love deceiving

but a crystal kiss
white soft
and grieving
permeates the earth

Feelings have seasons too. Your poem captures the changing season of love well.

Yes, love ends but like the seasons it is born again. Generally speaking that is.

This poem touches like a soft breeze on a summer's day even in its grieving it nurtures. Thanks again Barry

Thank you Norah. This is another written in the 1970s.
