Autumn Leaves volume 6 number 7 |
In wild winter weather, rain falling on the sea,
the
bayberries breaking in the gale,
I walk on the sand and remember you and
me
in the days when I thought that all was well.
Then I ran fast and fearless beside the turning
tide,
laughing as you leaped into my arms.
We danced together among the
sun sparkled waves,
and had no dreams of life's alarms.
In wild winter weather, a knife slipped from its
sheath,
and death came dancing on the tide.
There was too much bleeding;
there was too much hurting;
and too many people fell and died.
We were all so angry; so very full of fear,
we forgot how
to love and be free.
In this wild winter weather, through rain and through
wind,
I am walking alone beside the sea.
