October Sky

[alostandbrokensoul]

Underneath an October sky
wondering why he had to die
a year ago, a ground of leaves
a lost life forced to grieve.

She cries on the forest floor
not wanting to live anymore
holding up an orange leaf
wondering why he had to leave.

He hit the ground, the scattering of leaves
rushed to the hospital only to cease
underneath an October sky
her best friend, had to die.

I must thank you for posting this. It reminded me of someone who is never really far from my thoughts, but missing her after reading this felt warm for some reason. Nicely written.

I really like this - a tribute of mourning to a very close friend.
Simply lovely.

Don't forget, alostandbrokensoul, in the war between the rhymers and the non-rhymers in the last 2 centuries, if not the last 3000 years, the non-rhymers have won hands down.-Ron
