Bwondrous Fall Poem by Barry A. Lanier

Intent upon her destined course,
As led by a blind and powerful force.
In her lay powers of love and hate,
Twas' one not the other that ruled our fate.

When two hearts enter,
The long course begins.
Fate shall guide in time,
To rule which one will win.

Time passing by,
Fleeting moments awry.
A heart not fully captured,
Still wondering why?

Found myself unsteady,
Sitting upon this worldly perch.
Wounded spirit and soul,
Frantically I would search.

How could a beautiful flower,
Suddenly bloom and then die?
Age old wisdom still questions,
And wonders why?

Love giveth',
And love taketh'all,
No in between, yet in defeat,
O' such a wondrous fall.
