I must have seen the red leaf flying
Through kaleidoscopes of fall
It must have fluttered crimson colors
But I really don’t recall

It must have somehow etched a memory
As it spun in gusty flight
For I wrote o poem of how a red leaf
Danced into the night

I must have watched the snowflakes tumbling
But I really didn’t look
And yet the crystal landscape
Occupies my poet book

I must have spent my youth just dreaming
Though I can’t remember one
Yet the truth is in my poetry
And cannot be undone

All I’ve seen and felt is written
In the form of rhythmic rhyme
That flies the fragile wings of life
Through open gates of time

To observe is just to live
And drink the beauty of it all
I must have seen a red leaf flying
But I really don’t recall

Beautiful work, Elizabeth. Your Muse was in fine form for this work. Captures elegantly the soul of a poet.
