Poem
“Autumn leaves don’t fall; they fly. They take their time and wander on this, their only chance to soar.” Owens, Delia. Where the Crawdads Sing, Chapter 17: “Crossing the Threshold” (p. 124). Dressed up in their September best, Falling silent, swirling and twirling Reminiscing on how they’ve been blessed By the God who created them With all their vibrancy and quiet dreams Sinking to the earth amid a hodgepodge Colors in brilliant flames, awakening Autumn with inspiring themes, coming Alive like the moon and the starlight, Glowing like a blaze of whirling insights Darkening the past, whispering a caress Through the gentle night, kissed By the breathless hopes of a long-ago who breathes Kindness, brilliant peace like the sunset Echoing beauty throughout the twilight fantasies Restoring grace to the promises, the faith Abiding in the spirit of those who know This October will bring more joy and more peace Than any memory, any imagining – wishes Thriving on the prayers like psalms in the wind Welcoming the rich sighs of those who believe This is the autumn’s ambition, to bring to us A gathering of grief salted with intimacy, Wonders so complete they feel like freedom An album of lyrics, poetry fading into the symphony… Autumn glory – beautiful anthology of truth A compilation laced with inspiration, the muse That relies on free will, shimmering solitude Gratitude and pleasure, blended, mixed together With the curiosities of life – completely satisfied In all the beauty fading into the quiet silhouettes Free feelings, relieved by time and bringing Delight into the heart of those who remember This is the way of the morning, the sun and the moon All who remember to listen to the silence of Autumn’s song, The enduring stillness, serenity roaring through the twists And turns of the melody that this voice of Autumn hums Feel Free Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Sara Kendrick Used Quote Number: 7. “Autumn leaves don’t fall; they fly. They take their time and wander on this, their only chance to soar.” Owens, Delia. Where the Crawdads Sing, Chapter 17: “Crossing the Threshold” (p. 124). Date Written: December 23, 2022
