Going for that long, tranquil, walk,
the evening walk down to the small path,
at the end of the golden field,
between the two tall pines,

There is a dark dirt trodden path,
covered with the earths own carpet,
you can hear the scrunch, the whisp,
as my feet pick up, to and fro,

Soft, pillowed floor, full of leaves,
leaves falling one by one, flying,
landing in my brown hair, hitting,
my face, tree trunks, my hands.

Bright golds, beautiful, like the sun,
deep reds, burgandy, tangerine oranges,
with chesnut browns, and some green,

Natures quilt, little leaves falling,
landing, passing me by, as if to say,
hello, and then goodbye, upon resting,
to their final destination.

As I am walking, birds are chirping,
waters are rushing over rocks,
rays of brilliant sunshine beam,
between trees, branches,

Shadows of the forest come alive,
moving with the sun, the sun projects,
shines through the leaves, as if,
to turn the lights on,

making the leaves brighter, more colorful,
I sit inside a pile of leaves,
they are hugging me, surrounding me,
saying "Welcome", "Welcome".

Nature and I are one, together at peace,
leaves are all in my long brown hair,
I feel as I have become queen of thier land,
the forest queen, lady of the leaves,

The sun begins to fall from the sky,
the trees begin to dim their lights,
knowing it is time for me to walk home,
so on I trod, "whisp", "whisp", through the leaves,

As I stand at the gate to the forest,
I take a final look back at my lovely friends,
I wish them well, till tomorrow,
and I walk home with leaves in my hair.
