    What life is- poem

    I wrote this, but it's pretty bad. It's free verse, but I hope it catches a mood. Tell me what you think.

    Life moves on past
    the autumn trees
    heavy with scarlet leaves
    and the waning sun

    Life goes on after the
    loss and pain, after
    the event is autumns past
    all you are supposed to forget

    Life is long the years
    putting a new touch on
    old events and forgotten things
    we would rather not forget

    Life is what we say it
    is in the sun of summer
    beyond the cold of winter
    beyond those endless nights

    You and I parted years
    ago in another autumn
    when the leaves fell onto
    the quiet streets and as

    The sun wanes the years go
    by and leave me in
    quiet October days
    wondering where you have gone- Autumn, 2006

    summer grace - I just saw this. I like it very much! I wrote something in a similiar vain called "Frozen Summer". There is another poetry thread. You should post this poem in it. It is very nice and I have felt the same way....life can go on about us, and yet we hardly notice when our hearts are somewhere else.
