Patiently I'll await...

I'm watching the brilliant colors of Autumn

quickly dissapear

as unwelcome flakes of winter

bury their radiance and life...

slowly erasing summers warmth and laughter

born with springs gift of life anew.

Summers promise of life continued 

gave me strength and hope

that I could carry on without you

 minus frozen tears and ice cold memories

of death.

These could be replaced with

a living, vibrant colorful existence.

I will try to hush my fears

of cold and gray and white

of long, long days without you, 

and appreciate the quiet, restful nature

 of winter and death...

its purpose and promise.

I will ponder on our pure eternal love and future

as I patiently await our spring.

I love you Alain!
