A Vision on the Autumn Breeze

by NightFlyer   Oct 17, 2010


October winds, they came at last
Across the hills and ponds, they passed
And strewed bright autumn leaves around
So wonderful, their stirring sound
Relentlessly, they lured my mind
Down ancient paths that ever wind
So forthwith I sped through my door
Toward Massapoag's long sandy shore
And to the windy beach, I came
As waters glowed with twilight's flame
I felt your love on me enfold
As I gazed out on waters gold
So movingly, our hearts were one
Neath crimson rays of setting sun
Though far across the land, you dwelt
Eternal was the love I felt
That spanned the mountains and the seas
And rode the wild Autumn breeze
Now Autumn days to Winter, turn
This vision will, in my heart, burn.

    Hi my friend i love this
    raw poem about YOUR view
    of nature and an area that
    you sound as though you love?

    I dont know where Massapoag
    is but it sounds as beautiful as
    my citys outer limits and greenspaces
    The Peak District in Yorkshire..well written Paul x

    Thank you for all your kind words. Yeah, Ronald, this poem was inspired by a walk I took to Lake Massapoag in my town. And I got the idea after I called my good friend who I left behind when I moved from Florida. And I took your advice, and improved the last line. Thanks.

    Well penned, the rhyme was great
    ( though I would have another go with the very last line) Your choice of word were very desciptive and not forced.
    Lake Massapoag ( large water) looks beautiful
