A Daydream Goes To Sleep

I almost tripped on a breeze in the leaves With fluttered thoughts my mind weaves My heart is racing and I don’t know why I look for peace, floating in the sky But the sky is gray and still as a grave So, I seek out some colors on the ground to save Holding onto the stem of a single leaf Brings focus with a simple kind of relief Where does the time go on days like these? My dreams skipped a beat, in the barren trees Night comes earlier, now it’s time to rest As a daydream goes to sleep like sun in the west Heidi Sands 11/5/18

I can envision walking amid scattered leaves and the sound of the wind in the trees. A lovely, wistful poem, Heidi

Thank you Chris. The leaves are mainly darker now, orange, rust colored with some yellow left. It is the tail end of the color and a lot of wind has brought them down lately. It has been gorgeous :)
