A leaf flitters away in the wind The peak of fall, hues of orange, red, yellow Flowing with fury into the corners of a country home’s porch Taking up space until brown decay soaks through Burning a dark shadow of its shape into the pavement Branding the earth, back into the soil When the winter kicks up the remains I can still feel its warmth Red, orange, yellow At the peak of Fall

I’ve found love, and it burns a shape of many hues into my soul, as a leaf does the soil, the concrete, the grass…
