Autumn Leaves

i lay
       beneath
                     the 
   autumn tree
                                       red blood
                                                          decorating
                                            All Hallows Eve

                                                                                    the gold
                                                                            of stuffed
                                                                                                turkey roast
                                    the green of
                         christmas misteltoe
                                                                   the bare for life
                                                          come an end
                the bark to say
     it will come again
                                                                                             the sky in painted
                                                                                       blue and white
                                            the backdrop 
                                    to all i know 
        white of
 angels guiding
                  wings
                                                                 blue for 
                                                                         eyes and waters
                                                                watching
          meaning in everything
                           i see
                                                        beneath the
                                                  falling autumn leaves
