A cool Autumn breeze

Leaves from all the trees

Flutter to the ground

Circling all around



Some fall upon shoulders

Catching on collars and zips

Some are even bolder ...

Falling upon eyes and lips



Causing a crispy crunch

As they are wiped away

Crumbling into a bunch

Disappearing into bay



A cool Autumn breeze

Leaves from all the trees

Fluttering around ....

Lost in time and sound
