swirling in tight vacumes,
leaves scarlet and amber,
turned to an invisible hand
outside the shop doorway.

Wind cooed and called
to the shoppers with trolleys,
they paid no heed, too
busy to see seasons change.

Watching the leaves turn
clockwise, like invisible water down
a plug hole, sadness entered me.
these colourful leaves were the trees final show.

Now they have been gathered
by Hedgehogs and mice, a warm
bed to sit out the unforgiving winter,
to sleep comfortably from prying eyes.

Blasted down bare streets,
like a colourful quilt blown
apart at the seams, final
striking colour, before winters murk.

Even in the passing on of one season,
still the dead gives warmth to life.

I enjoyed this image, Phil.  Thank you!

Come read to me some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling
And banish the thoughts of day.
