every autumn i watch
the leaves [ fall ] ;
i watch them
spin and twirl
and softly touch the
ground [ in ]
an act of grace
by mother  nature.
i watch them turn
to flames -
shades of red and
orange found
in romance, [ love ]
a  m  o  r  e -
i listen to them
as they crunch
underneath me
and i wonder
what it would
be like to have
someone  
[ with me ]
to spend this
autumn day
with
