"Autumn leaves under frozen soles,
Hungry hands turning soft and old,
My hero cried as we stood out there in the cold,
Like these autumn leaves, I don't have nothing to hold."
She sat quietly swinging her bare feet back and forth
as the warm breeze played gently with her long, tangled brown hair.
Her eyes set on the sunset as it slowly said goodbye to the day.
She began to wonder what was beyond the sun, the clouds, and the ocean
and wished her eyes could travel that far.
She smiled as she felt the tender tickles of the grass as it touched her feet.
It was the same grass she loved so much to lie down on and look up at the clouds.
She continued to swing quietly not daring to interrupt the peace of the ending day.
A fallen leaf slid down through her cheek and landed on her hand
reminded her of her love. Its gentle touch was very similar to his loving caresses.
At that moment, all memories of him stirred up in her heart
reminding her of the time when he was still there,
on that very same swing wherein his arms, they
would watch sunsets together every afternoon.
No longer would she hear his soft whispers telling
her how much he loved her, the only whispers left were those of the tree
that with the sound of its moving leaves
assured her that everything would be okay.
Yes, she missed him!
She missed him with all her heart and being
and wondered if sometime today
he had thought of her too as she did for him every day.
She continued to watch on the horizon, her
eyes locked on what was left of that day's sunset and wondered
what was beyond the sun, the clouds, and the ocean
and wished her eyes could travel that far
so she could see her lover's smile once again.

Tomorrow for sure I will wake up all bushy-tailed and maybe ready to write something new for you.
