Feeling

(Not knowing what to do with this blog, I seemed to be turning it into a collection of my poems, some original and others adapted. More or less. Here is another one I wrote awhile ago. )

So anyway--
I encounter this feeling
I can not say.
Lonely it is not,
Loss, that's too heavy.

Absent in others'eyes,
Oblivious in my own mind.
I just catch a glimpse,
And it's followed the shadow of mine.

As if the season of fall
With its colors and all
It graces my window--
(It's strikingly beautiful!)
And gone,
It's not mine after-all.

Count my blessings as I might,
lovely path awaits in sight.
So I--
I just touch the void
In the stillness
Of night.
