A Fall Farewell

in a time of quietness i reflect on childhood memories
caught wisping through my mind 
falling leaves create the stage 
words spoken were not cherished on the last day of our friendship 
and those words were possibly the last 
what were your thoughts as a dreaming child 
i awaken to a nightmare after a gentle nudge 
i find out you're gone 
the machines that kept you alive were careless 
did you ask Him to forgive you before you passed on 
you slipped away into the ground.. 
you broke the vanity... you brought the silence ... 
(i hope you are with Jesus.)
