A music major from Atlantic Florida University has contacted me requesting permission to set this poem to music and we have established a contract agreement.
The lyrics from this poem will be the forth movement of his musical composition.
It never ceases to amaze me...the journey my poetry has taken me on.
I am forever grateful to poetry soup and all the members who have encouraged and supported my writing along the way.
Sincerely,
Elaine C. George
One Regret
Now walking through the autumn of my life
Where maple leaves have turned from green to gold
I watch them fall in breezes turning cold
In a whirl-wind of harmony and strife
And I ponder, on the fact that I might
In the light, as another day unfolds
Have, like these dying autumn leaves, grown old
Slow spiraling toward the pending night
Moss grows along the path where I now step
That rocky road now softened by the years
Seeing for the first time, so crystal clear
That I will leave this life with one regret
This vision, that these old eyes now behold
Those blazing flames, when autumn leaves let go.
