Decay

Tired limbs split from the hollow part

And fall to the forest floor

To be hidden by tear soaked leaves

And maybe something more



What inside me is different?

All things can be undone

Every leaf falls in the autumn

No tree ever touched the sun



Every piece of the forest

Reaches heavenward as one

But, like me, will find themselves hollow

No man ever touched the sun

I truly enjoyed this poem. The rhyme was lovely and seemed very natural, not strained at all. The overall effect was beautiful, rather wistful. You have a lot of talent.

great imagery... need to add a verse about the winter stillness... you weave around your reader very well... very polished eric
