Let's Tango

So many worlds work as one;
a symbiotic tango where
no feet are ever stepped on -
no pardons conferred.
An intersection of nature,
busy, yet no traffic lights nor
accidents or road rage.
A seductive tease where
cold shoulders and hot glances
share equal stage - smirking.

The first blanket of leaves lie soaked
beneath the shuffling of the last,
covers the naked dancing/celebrating
worms and sprouts who feast
on the nourishing gifts of Autumn
now winter worn to perfection.
Waiting, a red-breast is filled,
and on high, new leaves are born
to hide their summer nests.

What a beautiful and deep write this is dear craig. I really love the way your opening lines made me think, and how your second stanza is so descriptive and so picturesque as well as with soulful lines that truly would leave any reader inspired, especially love “ The first blanket of leaves lie soaked beneath the shuffling of the last,” the way you show through words is impeccable, how youve highlighted nature and passing time and reflecting opposites and interconnected rhythm of life.
