THAT DAY

That day!
That smile
lazy like sunshine
on autumn afternoons;
splintered heart
scattered leaves
across the meadows;
yellow,
rusty,
pale fields alternating
with green patches   
waving adieu;
kept on walking
to an unknown destination
a journey without end;


Ithaca not in sight
Ulysses forlorn 
abandoned 
by the pleasure seekers,
sirens beckoning;


Life of pleasure
winning over.


I stand
amidst ruins
longing for return 
of sunny days ....
