Autumn leaves dance me


*


Like beauty queens who abhor abdication
you cling to the branches of avenue trees
playing happily with the gracious breeze
unaware of the proximity of separation.

Sudden deep wind moans stop your breath
and though you still are a joy for the eyes
you know that the time is ripe for goodbyes
and you get ready to dance your last dance.

In awe I walk under this vibrant shower of gold
Is it the divine breath who choreographs your fall?
You soar, you glide, you skip, you dance and bounce
gathering with a crackling sound on the ground.

I will remember your colours and your passion
I will join the wind’s voice and sing a requiem
in gratitude for the beauty of what has been
and in anticipation of mysteries still to unveil.

Autumn leaves dance me through transformation
everything, believe me, including you and me,
carries the everlasting seed of life deep within
and after drifting through momentary oblivion

creation will project us once again into the Light
for we are Love, you and me, bound to be reborn

for we are Love

and Love has no beginning and no end

it just is for now and evermore!

OhMargherita~
There is such inspirational beauty in this~

Autumn leaves come dance me
prance me, entrance me, romance me
Across this falling season of reason
twirl me in kaleidoscopic hues of you
give me the thrill of dancing still
in the Spring of new clover
even after the drift is over~

What a captivating opening!

"Like beauty queens who abhor abdication"

smiling here, tenacious, ain't they?

"Autumn leaves dance me through transformation"

and may I find that graceful acceptance too

This is lovely, and it's only rarely that I get to view such a sight--much less walk through the downpour of the "dance floor".

If I MUST leave New Orleans, one day, I want to go someplace where the leaves put on an annual dance revue.

This leaves me smiling--as does my first glimpse of you in your pic--do know that you look very much like my MOM? (As if I need more reason to hug you!)

~ Margherita, your poetry always 'leaves' me wanting more ... and more ... It is nothing less than perfection!

Love your writing ~ love you!
