Love Fading Clouds hover low overhead hiding the sky, making sure no sun rays at all are able to come through to brighten the day. the air looks blue, making hills appear fuzzy and far gloomy weather to match my mood rain drops hit the windshield matching the tears falling from my heart An embarrassed store clerk blurts out an apology when I open my wallet and find an old faded picture of you, looking out at me. Faded and worn, from so many wettings in that old river, but ironically, your face is untouched letting me see the angel I love and miss so much back when she used to love me, and life was younger. I know we still love each other, but I wonder if that is enough so many hurtful words, flung in anger, striking deep into both our hearts. Will we be able to survive as a couple, or will we just drift apart, looking for something we no longer have but that we both need so desperately sometimes it seems like our life mimics nature In our spring, the whole world shined brightly with our new love smiles and laughter bubbled out from us, to spread cheerfulness to all around. Summer came, and in it’s hot long days, we never noticed the leaves of our love were gradually fading, until finally the fall came and the bright amber and reds of our love’s leaves made it impossible to ignore that time was fleeing and our love was beginning to leave as well. I wonder if you slipped away from me, or I slipped away from you. How could something so strong simply vanish, or is it hiding to emerge stronger than ever. Will our sun shine on us again, or has the winter of despair already come to us, leaving us both alone, and lonely. bob armentrout 2001 --------------------------------------------- This message was sent using Midwest Tel Net Web Based Mail. http://www.mwt.net/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
