A Leaf’s Fandango - by cooper

For as long as I can remember
the sun has glowed
like new-found love.

Today the winds
are indifferent,
the sky callous and grey.

Friends spiral downward.
The cold tears my essence
as the rain severs my grip.

Reaching to the grey above
I find no resolution,
but weave a graceful

Fandango.

Darkness is my bitter partner
as we glide over a
laden ground of death.

The sweet melody of rain
paces the beating
of my rampant thoughts.

On the last beat
I look to a sky
once callous and grey,

only to see
the sun resplendent
like new-found love.
