Of Golden Leaves Poem by David Wood

Of Golden Leaves

Rating: 4.9


‘Tis time to mend this wounded heart
Since it slowed to a miniscule beat
To see with my eyes the face of the world
And say ‘hello’ to all I greet.

My days are now of golden leaf
The fruit has passed its sell-by date
And the best of love has now gone,
The distance travelled has been great
And I have sung loves only song.

New hopes and fears now line my path
As I travel down this road alone
And running nature’s ultimate course,
Past mistakes my soul does now atone.

We make a grave in our heart for our sorrow
And wait for a greater peace than we have known
When fear and worry no longer matter
After we have reaped what we have sown.

A poem full of heartfelt feelings. A poem written with life blood. A masterpiece is the true lifeblood of a master spirit.

We make a grave in our heart for our sorrow And wait for a greater peace than we have known When fear and worry no longer matter After we have reaped what we have sown. Brilliant and profound wordings.
