Standing tall, yet she weeps for
The warm days of summer

#OctPoWriMo 2018
A Grand Opening
Through the open door they dance
Inhibitions unlocked
Freely they fling
Flashes of color
Detached, moving with abandon
Come to rest at my feet
I gape at the beauty of the leaves of Fall
Come to entertain me
On this windy day.
Free Verse

Word Prompts: outside, unlocked, fling,
freely, gape
Who Will Catch Me When I Fall
Like a fading leaf
I wonder as I age
And detach from life
On my aged tree
Just what the end will be
I am trusting and
Praying that God’s angels
Catch me when I fall
Asleep on this earth
And like the wind
Gently take me up
To my eternal home
Where I will live on
In the God’s presence
On His Tree of Life
Syllabic Verse
#OctPoWriMo Day 16
Lives Of Leaves
Once prominent
A vibrant crown of glory
Rustling and bustling
Sheltering new life on high
And offering shade
Now a colorful blanket
Looked down upon
Trampled without thought, deemed useless
Until wind carries them away
Choka
Certainty
Sometimes
Change comes slowly
Gradually
Bit by bit
Other times it’s sudden
But it always comes

The Scent Of Summer
Though summer left, the roses remain

(The sturdy rose bush by my front door continues to bloom beautifully even in these Fall days .)
Legacy of the Leaves
Leaves in Fall dress
Beauty in the golden years

Enjoying Life!
AUTUMN Arrives
Autumn arrives overnight
Unzipping her bag of colors
Trees brace for her creative touch
Unfazed, she sets to work painting
Masterpieces, that bow and fall
Neath her feet to create carpets of color
