The sun has gone into shade <br />And, turned a corner <br />She will not be returning <br />Not neither soon… nor later <br />Not ever… <br /> <br />Autumn leaves are falling, now <br />My dispirited, one…? <br />Winter blankets are descending, <br />And there is no more to be done. <br /> <br />The cyclones ear is sevenfold <br />But here therein there is <br />Just one rule of thumb, <br />One grace above all fallacies <br />Love is a sour plum, <br />With a pit of gold!<br /><br />Mark Heathcote<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/forever-autumn-2/
