Lingering leaves Frolic

 


               "Lingering leaves of gold
           frolic in the autumn wind"
        and I am lost in a swirling,
           dance of golden leaves,
     twirling, whirling ...
              leaping, here there, lingering.

            They flutter and quiver,
          golden in the glaring sunshine,
      a slight breeze and they glide,
    for a moment ...
              is there anything more lovely,
            than a nice autumn day. 

         I gather gold leaves in my hands,
      and smell their divine scent,
    sweet, pungent,
               that speak of autumns decay,
            the leaves glow as though,
         lit from within.
