Lovely Leaves
by Erika
I've missed the falling of the leaves;
The metaphor of life.
I'll miss the falling of the snow;
The glitter of life.
I've missed falling in love;
The mistake of life.
I've missed falling in love;
The purpose in life.
I'll come to know falling down;
The acceptance of death.
I've missed falling in love;
The acceptance of death.
I'll come to know falling free;
The acceptance of heaven.
I'll come to understand the first fall again;
The realization of eternity.
I'll come to understand the never ending fall,
That love is forever.
That I've never missed it.
That I never will.
