Yellow Time

The fallen leaves of autumn speak many stories

Of pain and pleasure to map many lives

The un-walled stones left alone on sand

As lay in silence in scorching sun

All those years have gone away far

Suspended from time, waiting for none

The wind and rays lift away leaves

As waves and sea take away ships

Lost in water, search for the life at distance

Those flown away leaves rush into far forest

Life has no hooks slips into quagmire

Buried untimely clock broken needles

Leaves on icy mountains slides down perplexed

Lives at yellow age shake in color vexed

Tow leaves separated to sway in silence air

Tow hearts devastated broken up tyrant flare
