The drifting down of autumn’s leaves Petals of time of spiraling grieves Which was green and full in the sun Now dry and brittle, its course has run Only left to drift on the wind But then again, its journey will begin For as it lays on ground below Covered with rain and then the snow It slowly returns to where it came And becomes one of the whole, once again From mulch to dirt to nurturing a seed Feeding the shoot, tending a need The winter is over and soft winds blow The ground does stir of the sleeping below A tender spike comes from the ground Stretching in the air as it moves around A tiny green comes from a limb With the greenness of leaf, kissing suns rim And in the years, the tree grows tall And every autumn the leaves do fall What seems simple is really complex For all life follows a pattern into the next As the leaves of autumn begin falling so free Are they leaves or angel wings, that we see? |

They're all that and more... they're memories of precious times gone by; they're inspirations of fireplaces, scarves, and walks; they're stimulations of aesthetic appreciations; they're reminders of the best times yet to be had... Autumn is my favorite season, and your poem has rustled up some impressions. Nice work, Logan. -MVS "If you don't ask: you don't get." -Steve Miller |

I have to agree with Mark........everything is more than what it seems to be, and only will we know by taking a much closer look! That goes for people too, and this person fully enjoyed this reading! The road goes on forever, the stories never end, and people are the same the world over! |

I think Mark said it best, and yes, he indeed has a poem in there...I hope he comes back to see your comment, and be so inspired... and to agree with Marge as well, some fine words from you... but then, as always, some days are just a little finer than others... |

Sweet Logan!  Your work is just as wonderful as always. I'm always out here reading, Sweet One. Remember that. What a great question you ask in the end of this one. I like to think perhaps..angel wings.  Sometimes the heart needs the solace of solitude and silence. |
