All That Is Left MAG

By Anonymous

    The leaves slowly turning color.

Counting off the minutes,

the seconds,

the moments lost.

Each hue a reminder that

I

am never who I once was.

Each left

rolls on the wind and settles

on the parched forest floor;

crumbling at death's faint touch.

Its voice an echo

I

can now hear.

Summer's brilliance in death.

Knowing this

I

carry on into shorter days

a different man.

Remembering always

August.
