A Silent Fall

I remember having my arms around you
In a cocoon of comfort,
As my breath ran down your spine.
Neither of us knew if it would last a life time,
But at least it lasted till the end of that morning;
Before the sun fell out of the sky,
And it flew to me like a reverse Icarus.

The knot that kept us tied together,
Was undone before it could be secured.
But it may be for the better,
Or else the impact would have been much worse.
Now it was a mere meteorite
Falling from the greatest height
That stopped me from falling further,
But it arrived without a single sound.

Only my footsteps,
The wind blowing through the trees
And a few golden leaves,
Floating carelessly
To accompany me
At the moment of devastation.

I hope that at least
Someone was there with you,
Maybe that silly goose,
When you told me that final truth.
