Autumn Leaves
Autumn Leaves
Autumn Leaves
Bare hands swaying in the breeze
Grainy sand of weeds
Plentiful
Dusting off
The heaviness
Weighing down
Broken ends
At the end of the rope
Pulling away
From dark places
Releasing the burden
To the light in the window
And the open door
An escape from the inescapable
A sudden ruffle in the shadows
It could be sad
Without a rock to hide behind
Dimming the eyes
The deafening of forgetting
Take me home
To the lesser known
Warmth at the end of the road
