Touch them tender
as they fall,
for where they've been
and where they've yet to go,

the newborn's cry
within the camoflauge of layers
now wearing an orange glow,
and the face of pink's fresh coat,
buried inside next winter's gold,

touch them tender
as they fall,
and know
why they must go.

Good morning! I see from your photo that you are a goddess to God's feline creatures as well!

The leaves in slow descent ~ around, and around, and around they go ~ and where they land, nobody knows. Your poem reminded me of a ditty we used to say as children while spinning around among the falling leaves

Thanks for stirring up pleasant memories!

Happy autumnal hugs,
Linda

How fitting, goldielocks, you are such a pretty little thing.  
If you only knew how your writing stirs me!

Round and round she goes~  I really love this!
