Premium Member Autumn Leaves

the chill wind through 
a tightened throat blew
against the trees, upheaves,
unfastening the leaves 
exposing limbs on eaves.
the leaves fell away
as wanting to play.
they ripped their way
through the breezeway.
they been noticed after all
knocking into the wall
then vanish down the hall.

A thin seam of light appears  
where the world has worn thin.  

I step closer,  
feeling the hush gather around me.  

Nothing opens outward~  
instead, the doorway widens within,  
a soft unfastening of fear,  
a loosening of the old, tight self.  

And through that inner brightness,  
I finally see what has been waiting.
