this autumn
i fall
like the leaves
into secluded shadows where light
sparkles and dances
alone
and underneath the deepening dark
earth
i fall
like the leaves
surrendering and shedding
this sweet body of my soul
all these scared and brittle memories
and i wait
like the leaves
for some distant spring when
my love
underneath a bold and gentle sun
takes my hands and dances together with me
out loud
i wait
and i fall
like the leaves
for an inevitable spring
falling all over for you
again
