raking leaves.

finished several piles today,
left along with other things for too long,
help is all it took, somebody to joke and laugh a little with.

nice clean quarter of the yard, open to the sky,
in a world suddenly darker, muddied by
innuendo and lack of feeling.

but hey, a sad person is used to that.

A sad poem Lloyd. I hope you are not truly sad.
delayed stress Randy, the end of relationships are usually sad for one party, sometimes both.
thanks

I'm sorry that you are sad. I'm frequently depressed but feeling better right now with the onset of spring. I have a lot of leaves left in my yard from last fall, so feel free to come and rake those up as long as you are in the raking mode.

Ernie, I love the idea of letting your dreams take flight in the leaf pile. We have a bonfire in the backyard, one cool night soo I may just have to give this a shot. Thank you Lloyd for sharing your heart. May your sadness blow away with the leaves.

Lyrical and sad. Very touching.
I Burned some of those leaves today.. watching far more than foliage go up in smoke.
all this work.... undone.
the leaves still fall.
