Autumn leaves

Autumn reaches

into brilliance
proving age
has its passions
and every phase
its prime

every leaf
every love
every day

And you and I
might flutter up like moths
in that vortical dance
they do

And you and I
might be the blooms
and bounty
of the garden

And you and I
might be the zephyr
that lifts the leaves

one by one
summer ends

one by one
autumn rustlings
as I look up
gazing

And then you and I
might be the breeze

that carries each leaf down
crumbling
and crackling
into earth again

its the me and you
growing old together

watching the fairies gather
twigs

to make a raft
