Angels of Autumn

I wrote this when I was having a hard time fitting in at school.

Angels of Autumn

They never end, the blizzards that I try to transcend

December descends in my head as a brand new summer ascends

I'm the architect of the forest of smoke and cinders

The fire that once burned so brightly within me has been reduced the embers

Every season takes an eon to change on this lonely road I'm on

Oh heaven show me that I have a place in the light of the sun

Angels of Autumn lead me on to a place where I belong

And fill the emptiness I've held inside for so very long

Raging hailstorms pelt the thin windows of my mind

On this November night my soul is overcome with frostbite

This loneliness has me trapped in a land of permafrost

Can somebody guide me through this snowstorm before I am lost

Angels of Autumn lead me on to a place where I belong

And fill the emptiness I've held inside for so very long

End this dusk and let dawn bleed over the horizon

And show me that I'm not wrong, there's a place where I belong

Kill the burning cold coursing through my veins like black ink

I want to fly wit the other dragonflies

Angels of Autumn lead me on to a place where I belong

And fill the emptiness I've held inside for so very long

End this dusk and let dawn bleed over the horizon

And show me that I'm not wrong, there's a place where I belong 

Author's Note

Can anybody see the symbolism in Autumn for this poem?

Autumn is the mild life crisis of the seasons. The trees recede, the leaves wrinkle and incapable of rejuvenating. A fantastic poem. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Im glad you like it, but to me Autumn can have a positive meaning. It can be a time when its neither too warm or too cold. In other words, everything in life is just right, and this song was me asking the angels of autumn to take me away to that place where everything is perfect :)

[Tina Kline]

Autumn is the beginning of your later years of life where we often end up lonely and old. Also it is the time before the cold wintry season when everything seems dead. It's all very painful as you write about in your poem. Feeling alone and not fitting in. A very creative and impressive write.

[DoormanDan]

I'm glad you like this poem! This one is, in my opinion, one of my strongest :)

Autumn is the beginning of the cold season, for you, having this writing ability, it seems that once you open up to letting your self be noticed, you would not dread autumn and the cold. Valentine

[DoormanDan]

Thanks for reviewing this Valentine, but in this poem, Autumn is suppose to symbolize a time when everything in our lives is just right. :)

Hey, here that means winter is just around the corner. It was -33 degrees here last night. BRRRR that is what happens after autumn..Kathie

[DoormanDan]

wow, that's too cold for my liking!, to most people that's what it means, but to me both spring and autumn are times when, for the most part, things aren't too hot nor too cold(except for near the end of autumn, THEN it's way too cold!) :)

[DoormanDan]

Speaking of spring, IT NEEDS TO GET HERE ALREADY!!! lol :)

[Jamestown]

Terrific poem, totally enjoyed reading.

[DoormanDan]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you very much for reviewing it :)

[Amber Lily]

I do see symbolism but I'm not sure it it's the same as what you intended. My first thought was that autumn might be like a transition period between the hard times and turning them into good times, then I thought autumn could also be someone you met to help you through hell.
Either way if I'm right or not it would make a great tune :)

[DoormanDan]

Yeah, this one was more of an experiment than anything. Still, thanks for reviewing it and being honest :)

[Katie]

I think its amazing how you used what you were going through to write this. I love it!:)

[DoormanDan]

thanks for reviewing. It's poetry that comes from the heart that tends to be the most emotional :)
