Reflections of Fall
the sketch of dawn
cascades against the hills
in sanguine splashes
tipped of coral hues
beneath the yawn of sun
reflective horizon mirrored in trees
a linger of warmth
within autumn's breath
arouses my emotions
i twirl thoughts
like leaves
as they gracefully fall
in a downward spiral
suspended
temporarily
in a wayward breeze
i watch
as they tumble
one by one
like life
of each
now lost
memories
keep me grounded
beneath the pitch
of shifting wind
yet my mind rustles
the same as leaves
i feel emotions
being stripped
like trees
within fall's breath
knowing with certainty
soon they too will stand
naked, grounded, alone
