Did you receive the leaf I sent to you? <br />It lit its yellow way across old roofs. <br />I hope it found a place upon your coat. <br />I'd like to know that autumn traveled safe. <br /> <br />Here on the very doorsill of the dusk, <br />Where nothing is as strong as the ebb tide, <br />Of light upon the landscape we once knew, <br />I drink a sunset cup to distance, Friend. <br /> <br />Previously published, 'Skylark, ', Purdue University Calumet<br /><br />Sandra Fowler<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-distance/
