we danced as leaves
flirting at the sweep
of the wind's interception

embracing by accident
crisscrossing in shadow

neither written in permanence
nor destined for immortality

dancing as leaves, flirting
by happenstance

only to collaborate
upon the kindness
of the winds.

Thank you for this one.  Not every encounter has to be earth-shaking in order to be memorable.  I enjoyed the whimsy, and appreciate the feeling.

Beautiful...captured well. Whimsical as the winds of Fate.
Never know where the next gust may take us...
Too bad the Winter seems to come...
...too soon.

I love the great idea of the poem, the transcendance of the Wind for the leaves, it is really brilliant and accurately poetical,

thanks a lot

Always such a pleasure to read you Emma. You stir my senses and make my heart flutter.  The wind never felt so good.  Lovely, lady.

To enhance what James says: it is an extreme pleasure to read this excellent poem. I actually merged with your words and danced along.
