Eternal Dancing (A Fall Poem)
Embracing the floating leaves
They paint so free in amber, cherry sun
Bright eyes passing hope through lonely echo
River the voices receiving warmth
Branching air with hope, the forever flight
Dancing in Autumn leaves
Reborn through hands, what ancient lives
Shine empty earth with sacred fire
There is a birth expired within these deaths
Magic blessing releases wishes to light
Praying in the Autumn fire
Unleashing seeds instead of dead leaves
Atoning whispers that bleed new names
So temporary, this giving of time, souls unwind
Eternal the leaves that kiss their last breath.
