The leaves of the trees
blowing in the fall winds
tumble like the words of a verse.
They float and flutter
in the crisp, chilled air.
The colours tug at your soul
as the gripping word
in that favourite line of a
well read poem,
the comfort of a warm blanket.
I feel the corners of my mouth turn up
in the beginnings of a warm smile
at the sight of the
yellow and red leaves fall
to the ground
and crunching under my feet.
I feel alive in the moment.
