Autumn's Daughter

she ascends stone steps
 strewn with bright flying leaves . . .
her spirit lifts

she swirls to silence
for an audience of trees . . .
sunlight streams

autumn's shine
reflects in
her eyes of amber

Sam Kauffman Date: 12/7/2020 1:09:00 PM Delicious, warm colors of autumn in your striking "swirling" imagery and alliteration my friend! Love the "amber eyes" as my eyes have been described as that color. Had a Bengal tiger in the zoo look me in the eye with a puzzling look! Congratulations on your win! Warm blessings to you!
