When Autumn Leaves

Do leaves feel when they are transitioning in the change of season?

Maybe they shiver when the autumn breeze blows

Perhaps this is the reason why they crack

Do they attempt to grip the twig before they snap?

And gracefully float to the ground

Then get in bunches, and this;

This is when they

…Cry…

Good bye

I Lost Myself Strolling

33 Comments

It was a cloudy and humid day as I began strolling in the park, as I often tend to do. Many may say it’s a ritual; be that as it may, it’s when I feel the closest connection, while alone and missing you.

The fluorescent lights were just coming on; two of them flickering a dim yellow to white, and one had a constant buzz. I dismissed the annoyance. About 10 minutes into the walk, tiny particles of sweat started to crawl down the back of my neck, and slither down my spine. I felt as if I walked into a spider web and it was stuck on my skin. It was unnerving.

Unexpectedly a breeze began to whisper in my ear.

The wind began to pick up leaves and toss them in, and blow them out my hair.

I threw my head back, and began laughing hysterically!

Unbeknownst to me temporarily unaware of my surroundings, my outer self traveled.

I don’t know how, or where.

By the time I returned home…

My clothes were disheveled…

I had been with…

You!

The autumn breeze

…Brings…

Us closer together

…Yet…

Will eventually force

…Us…

Farther apart

…Let’s…

Kiss gently

…It…

May be the last

…Shallow…

Breath we take

…Before…

We are blown

A Bird In The Frost

Outside the window in the early morning

Frost…

I observed a single bird that appeared to be

Lost…

It tweeted and glanced from side to side

As…

If deciding which direction to fly

Standing…

On the frozen twigs

It…

Pecked around some fallen leaves

Then….

Took flight into the frozen

Breeze…

Autumn Leaves

LeavesAutumn

It’s coming, cloaked in colors of the earth

To live awhile, then fertilize its place of birth

With wind blowing leaves with its assertiveness

They twirl in the air, and rest on the ground

You rake them up, and make a pile

Add apples, and bees

And you know it is Fall
