Elixir of Life

Months passed by alone
The whispers of her heart
Had long gone
It could not withstand
her hardened soul.

The heart gave up
left the whispers untold
Fall had almost ended
Beckoning winter’s cold

But winter had not yet arrived
Autumn shown its hidden warmth

She could not miss
the leaves and foliage…
gracefully held its beauty

The brilliance of the sun
did give her a kiss

It was like an elixir of life
giving her hope

and with it the pain

Had it melted
Her hardened soul

Was she going to fall…
Fall…
From grace

Would she answer
The call…
Hold a straight face
And go with the pace

Or would she just disappear
Without a trace

Only time would tell…
