An Autumn Love Story
°
Once upon a time…
°
It was a season of color –
a parade of oranges, reds, golds and browns
&
the grand finale before Mr. J. Frost
and
his flakey friends came to town.
°
°
she was enticing, intoxicating ~
a stunning beauty in red
and
she captured his attention from across the path
~
he was the color of sunshine ~
a bright golden hue
and
when her eyes laid upon him,
she so fell in love with the view
&
everyday they would look upon the other
with a smile and a wave ~
while
patiently waiting for the moment
when their tree would begin to sway
°
°
they waited
and
waited
through the wind and the rain
until
one day it happened,
it finally came…
when these lovers from afar
were at long last
~ free ~
to be together
~ dancing ~
their last moments
~ aloft ~
on
a
breeze

longing
∫
like the leaves in autumn
i am restless ~ ~ ~
yearning to break free ~ ~ ~
~
to dance in the wind
&
to satiate my appetite for passion
&
to frolic in the rain
&
to quench my thirst for pleasure
&
to capture what life…remains
&
to follow my heart
∫
∫
a fall finale
~
~
dancing with the wind
last moments before goodbye
impending death fuels life
resurrection awaits its turn
~
~
a chilly game
~
sitting on uninviting slabs
wind whooshing through fleece
air nipping at noses
autumn soccer and sunsets
~
