Teddy Kimathi Poet Free verse

Autumn

The air around me is still,
and quiet. Leaves spiral
vertically to the ground,
gradually carpeting the 
main road. As I step on
the road, I feel as though
my feet are disappearing
into the leaves; I can't
see my feet, but I can feel
them. As I look above,
Lo and Behold!
I see trees' canopies faintly
glowing in ember
in the fading sun.....
