Autumn Leaves

as leaves spiral; brown,
to bedded rest,
tears cry
in the wind.

Unseen chills float
memories that twirl, rise,
then settle down
as gold.

When seasons circle,
time awakens memories
aroused as collage
of dreams.

    Special

    I enjoyed this poem and it made me want to lie on the ground and watch the leaves spiral down....sigh.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Congratulations on the HM. I never would have made the connection between leaves falling and trees crying.

    Sincerely,
    Leo Long

      Leo,

      thanks. You should read Myra's "toothpaste" and my 'reaction' to that. Blessings. Frans

    This is very nice written poem, in only a few lines I see emotions of the first stage. Autumn always was a collage of dreams and poetry.

    so beautiful

    I love nature inspired poetry. It's always so beautiful. "Unseen chills float, as memories twirl-" I just adore those lines. Very good piece.

      Thank you.

      As I added this poem, I wondered who would be the first to read it. I am glad we met. I also had a peep at your page, and you have some wonderful entries there. Frans
