Autumn Leaves


Silhouettes of miniature fingers
Gently floating from their
Arms of strength
Like the butterflies of spring
Released from their lairs
Creating sensations
In the chilled evening air
They touch our souls
Soothing us
Calming us
Filling our senses
With a fragrance
That brings freshness
To the earth
In which we live.

As the fingers whisk away so free
I will always remember
What it was that you said to me
Hold me please
Let me feel your warmth
Against my face
Whisper in my ear
Like the autumn leaves whisper
Their goodbyes to the tree
Soothing it
Assuring it
For they will begin anew
Like flowers that grow
And our hearts
We sow.
