Embers of Hue

upon an autumn leaf I write

by embers dawn of firelight

immerse your wishes in a wishful way

whispering whispers of words they say

empty your pockets of forever past

look to the skies, wishing so fast 

with embers cracking wishes will say 

I spare the soul , for only this day 

the summers moonbeam candlelight 

rupturing the whispers to dawns delight

paid with penalties of flightless wings

no wordless words for souls to sing

beauty falling, floating down 

a blissful, peaceful ,autumn crown

trembling, falling, slowly to light

forever suspended, vibrant and bright

the wishes of wishers

come in empty words , true

but the words of the wishers

in embers of hue

I find it appalling that over 600 can view this and currently only 8 left appreciation. This is a beautifully-written piece and an instant cafe classic in my library of faves.
But unless I missed it somewhere, please do explain "my last year"

Thanks for the 100/100 share

Visions dance and glow and play
as echoes fill each passing day
as memories of every moment found
and the colors of every love surround.

Instead of wishing on falling stars, I shall make my wishes on falling autumn leaves.... Why do we then wish on these dying burning evanescent things? But I love thinking about fall and it's death, opening the place to allow, require rebirth... Lovely poem Holly, the rhyme and the thought, a perfect way to welcome this most poignant season...

[Holly Mason]

thank you more then kindly...*)

Simply beautiful my long lost friend. Perhaps like autumn, you will grace us with your beauty again this season.
