November Nonet

Free 
wind blows
for the souls 
precious as gem, 
praised in requiem, 
like shiny leaves fallen, 
drifted away to heaven 
to find their true serenity 
somewhere up, beyond eternity.

I just adored the message and imagery in this poem. Probably if you had written gems instead of singular gem, I'd have had a tie for first place! Congrats in my contest.
