surrounding us is the sound of wind in the deep forest

rustling the autumn leaves — hurrying them to their death

quietly they take their place upon the moss-covered earth

 as our senses absorb them in an awe-inspiring breath

 

 

 

 

they fall–there within their colors deep

red ruby piercing through the brown decay

lemon yellow tickling the mood

apricot orange is on display as our eyes walk on their way

 

bleeding heart berries bowing to us

white pine needles shedding their dress

the evergreen calls for our vigilance

while quietly tufts of grass are being laid to rest
