Proof that I can pen more than just speculative poetry...

Vibrant fall gives way to drear winter
While I watch you drifting away
Bit, by bit, by precious bit.
Gone forever is spring's vivid bloom,
That promise of resplendent youth
Plucked by time's ravaging hand.
Where summer's radiance once shone bright,
Obfuscating mist now darkens
Beclouded spirit and mind.
Lucent memories of sunny years
Fade in the encroaching murk,
Unremembered in the void.
These final days grow bitter and dim
When ebbing warmth abandons heart
And a lifetime's dreams wither.
I mourn what was, and dread what's to come.
Lengthening shadows draw closer,
Heralding this season's end.
