Fleeting Shadows

Dancing shadows along the path They play a game of hide and seek Playful while the sunshine peeks between each branch of beech and ash the boughs and leaves of autumn's grasp Dancing across the top of golden leaves Flirting little sprites, between the pavers, peek Gleeful breezes sweeping them along Wily, jumping silhouettes, as if their ploy to tease They mimic trees, above the street Fickle dancers, 'till day is done, then off they go to sleep!
