Above the sad moan <br />.............................. of the naked trees. <br />Tnrough the pale leaf <br />..................... as it dances the breeze. <br />Into the breath of each <br />.............................. cool autumn dawn <br />I search for my lover, <br />..................................... but he is gone. <br /> <br /> <br />Behind each grey cloud <br />....................................as it scuttles by. <br />Under the blanket <br />................................ of velvet blue sky. <br />Between the brief <br />...................... glimpses of mellow sun <br />I search for my lover, <br />..................................... but he is gone. <br /> <br /> <br />Beyond the wide ocean <br />................................. and restless tide. <br />Over the verdant <br />......................... and high countryside. <br />Ahead of the journey <br />................................that's yet to come <br />I search for my lover, <br />..................................... but he is gone. <br /> <br /> <br />Inside the mem'ry <br />.............................of past happy days. <br />Below recent pain <br />................................in parting of ways. <br />Among the regrets <br />...................... which were dwelt upon <br />I search for my lover, <br />.................................... but he is gone.<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/he-is-gone/
