Eternal Dancing (A Fall Poem)

Embracing the floating leaves They paint so free in amber, cherry sun Bright eyes passing hope through lonely echo River the voices receiving warmth Branching air with hope, the forever flight Dancing in Autumn leaves Reborn through hands, what ancient lives Shine empty earth with sacred fire There is a birth expired within these deaths Magic blessing releases wishes to light Praying in the Autumn fire Unleashing seeds instead of dead leaves Atoning whispers that bleed new names So temporary, this giving of time, souls unwind Eternal the leaves that kiss their last breath.
