Autumn leaves fall round me

In a whisper no one can hear

Fragile, the air that surrounds me

I wait for the mist to appear

The winds, swirl like a cyclone

As trees grow naked and stark

They call to me, lyrically, intone

Gathering thoughts, I embark

Toward the forest, bare of cover

Into shadows, as they grow

Wondering what I may discover

I get lost in the leaves below
