Something fades
their flight,
perhaps the batter
of the rain,
and the subsequent chill
upon the sun's release,

a bit of color,
lost,
collapsing,
on their spiral
down;

and autumn preps
to abdicate,
in the offer
of her leaves,
the sacrifice
of trees,
between bereavement
and the promise
of next spring.

How easy it is
To watch others fall
Then go on as if
They welcomed the call
And when spring comes
All fresh and green
Who will remember
Last autumn’s leaves
The way they rustled
With being alive
Beneath summer flowers
That mark their graves

Letting down their hair
Slipping garments from shoulders
They are beautiful

Outlines of things sensual
Trees in winter waiting spring..

Your poem has captured what is missing in modern life, and that is inspiration, whose roots are anchored in the green earth.

Fall as seen through the eyes and soul of a goddess.

You have a 'natural' way of expressing yourself.  

Lovely, Michele. Truly, lovely.

Giving you a warm, autumnal hug,
