Lingeringly...
I chasse and pause
Fitfully...
With soaring umbrellas
Swaying...
The wind to ease my heat.

Careening...
In between stems
Sliding...
Toward the end of the
Elevating...
Path, I sing a love song...to nature.

As I'm wandering,
Around the green,
I watch the leaves
Falling and
Intertwining
With the wind.

Side note:
chasse is a ballet movement consisting of one or more quick gliding steps with the same foot always leading.

Umbrellas is a metaphor for trees' leaves

This is really very pretty Eliza.  A nice poem.  I just don't understand the word chasse.  Or perhaps you mean chase?  I don't see how you write so beautifully in a language that is not your native tongue.  I know I wouldn't be able to. Love, Joyce

Eliza:  Such a pretty poem and I can remember having the wind turn my umbrella inside out, many times when we lived in Seattle. Wind and umbrellas do not always get along!

OhEliza~
I love your ballet movements through the leaves~
Just perfectly lovely, as is all I've come to read from you~
Your gentle spirit soars with the loveliest word-thoughts~
