Our Tree by the Creek

A shriek echoed​

​

down the way​

​

you came to mind.

​

​

Then came a cry, but​

​

it was not your cry​

​

for me.

​

​

I heard a rustling sound​

​

amid the fallen golden leaves​

​

once, theywere green, but​

​

green they are no more​

​

the leaves.

​

​

I rushed to find you​

​

and I could not find that trail​

​

that creek., you were not there​

​

nor were the curls of your hair​

​

buried near the tree.

​

​

[SIZE=3]I found only your shadow[/SIZE]​

​

[FONT=Garamond][SIZE=3]and the darkest gloom[/SIZE][/FONT]​

​

[CENTER][FONT=Garamond][SIZE=3] filled the lonely corners[/SIZE][/FONT][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[/font]​

[CENTER][CENTER][FONT=Garamond][SIZE=3]of my fearful, grieving heart.

[/SIZE][/FONT][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[/font][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[CENTER][CENTER][FONT=Garamond][SIZE=3]And in my mind[/SIZE][/FONT][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[/font][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[CENTER][CENTER][FONT=Garamond][SIZE=3]the creek dies long ago[/SIZE][/FONT][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[/font][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[CENTER][CENTER][FONT=Garamond][SIZE=3]around the time I saw you last..

[/SIZE][/FONT][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[/font][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[CENTER][CENTER][FONT=Garamond][SIZE=3]Near that creek, by that tree[/SIZE][/FONT][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[/font][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[CENTER][CENTER][FONT=Garamond][SIZE=3]you danced and gave me yellow[/SIZE][/FONT][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[/font][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[CENTER][CENTER][FONT=Garamond][SIZE=3]tokens of your hair, but[/SIZE][/FONT][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[/font][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[CENTER][CENTER][FONT=Garamond][SIZE=3]the shriek that echoes, I can see[/SIZE][/FONT][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[/font][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[CENTER][CENTER][FONT=Garamond][SIZE=3]it is, but fear to find our creek[/SIZE][/FONT][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[/font][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[CENTER][CENTER][FONT=Garamond][SIZE=3]our tree and then the pain[/SIZE][/FONT][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[/font][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[CENTER][CENTER][FONT=Garamond][SIZE=3]to lose you yet again.

[/SIZE][/FONT][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[/font][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[CENTER][CENTER][FONT=Garamond][SIZE=3]And so [/SIZE][/FONT][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[/font][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[CENTER][CENTER][FONT=Garamond][SIZE=3]the leaves won’t turn[/SIZE][/FONT][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[/font][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[CENTER][CENTER][FONT=Garamond][SIZE=3]a green again[/SIZE][/FONT][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[/font][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[CENTER][CENTER][FONT=Garamond][SIZE=3] for me.

[/SIZE][/FONT][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[/font][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[CENTER][CENTER][FONT=Garamond][SIZE=3]They will remain the shadow[/SIZE][/FONT][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[/font][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[CENTER][CENTER][FONT=Garamond][SIZE=3]of a single golden hair[/SIZE][/FONT][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[/font][/CENTER][FONT=Garamond]
[CENTER][CENTER][FONT=Garamond][SIZE=3]buried there by the tree.
