Autumn Dance

I walked through falling confetti of colorful autumn leaves
I twirled and danced in the crisp air and warm sunshine
The gray clouds that hugged the distant mountain let go
The sky became clear blue all around, for miles I could see
The ground filled with the recent cold rain, quickly dried
As the breeze shook the other leaves still hanging on tightly
To the many branches that shined deep into the woods
Along the road the brook gurgled, chipmunk scampered,
               In a world where I danced on my own

Dear Heidi, your poem is filled with appreciation, joy and beauty.. both the natural beauty surrounding you, but also the inner beauty of the dance that came from within. May you always dance on your own. So splendid and inspiring! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

It sure feels like joy when autumn displays its splendor, Heidi. Enjoyed the waltzing verse dancing to the rhythms of nature you hear.
