As the world fades

Quiet
has set in
on my life
this chilly autumn morning
The world fades
from my thoughts
my eyes  
I see not
the beauty
that once danced
before my eyes.
Gray shadows
Take her place
She has gone
From my memories
Appearing
Only as a mist
In deep recesses
Down deep
In my soul
The light
Which once brightened
My days
Fades with time
As the world fades
