by the road
of many leaves
we sat for a while
and watched the sun
as it set
we could have been
lost amongst the sparks
instead
we watched them
float on by
a leaf emblazoned
in an aura of maybe
in possibilities
a momentary flow
in sadness tinged
the road
took you to it
left us
bereft and beyond
to choke back tears
and watch the sun set
without you
.
