Winding paths
Trees ablaze
With colors
Of Autumn
Beauty everywhere
Vibrant
New palettes
For aging leaves
Stillness
And silence
But listen
Listen Intently
Faint breezes
Gracing treetops
So lightly
Almost unnoticed
Leaves softly
Whispering
Quiet words
To one another
Promises
Regrets
Love
Good-byes
Beauty
All around
Yet look
Look closely
Scars and
Wrinkles
Masked
By vibrant color
Death
Disguised
By the beauty
Of Autumn
Leaves
Ready to let go
To fly
And dance
Colorful leaves
Left behind
Mourning those
Gone ahead
Wondering
And dreaming
Of their
Approaching flight
From below
The tree
A new view
Of everything
A tiny part
Of an enormous whole
Unseen
When in the midst
Clarity and
Understanding now
Blind and
Invisible before
Leaves collect
Below the trees
Together
Once again
Welcome home
Sung louder
In the rustling
Of each newly added leaf
