Why?

Parchment paper, yellowed leaves
Autumn sun going down
A cup with yesterday's coffee, warmed again
She looks out at the world
Ensconced in her veranda, curled in her rocking chair
Rolling her tongue over well kissed lips
She tells the leaves her stories
Good, Bad, beautiful and ugly stories
Long life, coloured life...rainbow hues to grey spots
Blind faith and trusted thoughts
Warm hearts full of cold love
Friends, foes all alike
Echoes of laughter, forgotten tears
Spoken deeds, unspoken words
Vows made, promises broken
Sudden surrenders and stubborn blunders
Soft nights and satin days
Harsh winters and mild summers
Suddenly, life is over, she says.....
To no one in particular
One question unanswered, after all,
The labors of life, I went through all,
Laughed some, cried some, killed some and revived some...
But Why?

Brilliant verses Ms.Blue! could relate to the emotions pretty well...
