Autumn Leaves
As I watch autumn leaves fall
all I can do is wonder.....
why have I waited so long
to recognize such beauty,
have I been caught in my own self-deception
achieving meaningless things yesterday?
As I stand and stare speechless,
today has become a true spectacle,
I'm reminded of beautiful memories
of friendship now in the air.
I have come to recognize
something missing deep in my soul,
from the cascade of colors
that autumn's kaleidoscope brings.
As I stare across a meadow,
at the orange, browns, reds, and yellows,
caught in God's breeze,
like the leaves gently I begin to fly....
Before autumn leaves
it's nice to see before winter's delivered,
that I've come realize
it's time to place my memories in my heart.
