" I wandered lonely as a cloud "
                    ~William Wordsworth ~

Shook away by solemn persuasive wind,
I felt as though fallen from my splendor;
Leaves of red, yellow,...

~Pretty Falling Leaves~
(Autumn Leaf)


The leaves are
Turning so really pretty 
They're going from green to gold
Then to red copper and browns
They look beautiful hanging from
Every tree thats been seen 'round
For many miles and miles
Some float in the air now
Playing and dancing happy
In the wind that
Swirls all...

I can see it in your eyes:
Autumn Leaf in Paradise,
and I fear for all the trees
full of stupid theories
about never-ending summer
while The Big Hand holds a hammer
above all fragility
and I wonder if you see
Autumn Leaf in Paradise
softly glowing in my eyes
like an answer and a...

Falling
Gliding
Tumbling slowly
Cast adrift to trip and skip
at the wind's will.
Floating, motionless
on air waves.
Tossed in a torrent
of swift surrender,
a last brief shaft of life
that ends quietly
underfoot...

I watched you from my window
Clinging on for dear life,
Trembling on that thin branch,
Howling winds cut like a knife.
 
Your life was draining away,
Veins became raw and bare,
Inevitably you had to fall,
I watched you lay right there
 
Where my dirty brown boots
Crushed your brothers and...

Never touched the ground
You twirled as you fell from high
Right Into my hand...

“Autumn leaves don’t fall; they fly. They take their time and wander on this, their only chance to soar.” Owens, Delia. 

Its solemn swaying into this world isn't a fall,
From the ever-season-shifting earth, it's a call;
Yearning, seeking, searching for liberty within,
Cut from the umbilical code...

This last autumn leaf
Without resistance it falls.
Then drifting gently,
It lands it's golden form
upon her soft, smiling face....

It falls gently to the earth 
From the tree above, 
The wind wisks it away 
But, carried by God's love. 

It finally comes to rest 
In a lightly rippling pond, 
The leaf went through many changes 
Now, the leaf and water bond. 

The pond gently...

Time heals.
Time kills.
It heals our hearts from the disease called love.
It kills the crazy stuff inside of us called love.
Time wins.
Love is nothing but an autumn leaf.
It is a pain 
Which is always in vain.
I hate the verb “to miss”.
Love is not a kind of...

Dancing upon the shifting crystal stage
The leaf is destined to dance the dance of the river
Aimlessly floating, turning, twirling

Its petiole dampened by the clear water
Washing over the cheerful green blade
Filtering through its veins

Exultant, is it not?
To be enraptured by the rhythm of the current
A journey...
