FALLING

I watched them
Floating
Silent
On an idle wind
No flight plan
No destination
No appointments
Just a relaxed release
Of a season’s tensions
A whispered exhaled “ahhhh”
They did not look sad
Or weary
As they drifted
Into the mystery
Of winter.

A glorious poem John, captures the moment so perfectly....the flow and rhythm drifts so easy on the ear...your voice comes through.
