She's set her mind free like fallen Autumn leaves
        Embracing mindfulness in the cool September air
             Reconnecting with her joyous inner child
         Easing up her jangled nerves, meditating away
      Negative voices in her head, actively listening to the
             Incessant rustling of red and gold leaves.
          The ambience so peaceful as she relishes her
         Yen to be free of mundane concerns. Hosanna! 

       Awakening all senses; gradually resurrecting her
      Withered verve, cap-a-pie. Her hair blowing in the 
  Autumn wind as she communes with ghosts of the past,
               Keeping steadfastly firm her spiritual...
              Equilibrium while blocking out external
                 Noises threatening to perturb her
          Equanimity. In autumnal piece of mind as she...
               Drowns in a sea of unadulterated bliss.

This is wonderfully serene, Edward - as serene as watching a leaf drift to the ground. There is a "steadiness" in the experience you describe. Love the acrostic! One of my favorite forms. Congratulations! So glad to see this on the winners list.
