The cold air rushes through my lungs
leaving a cold chill inside of me,
but i do not mind,
there are thoughts to be thought of tonight,
the fresh air clears my throbbing mind.

as i walk i feel the autumn leaves
all shades of red, orange, and yellow
crush underneath my feet
making a curious crunching sound,
i pause turn around and look
just in time to see
the golden remains dissipate in the night breeze,
i turn my gaze up towards the heavens
spot various stars and a big yellow harvest moon.

my mind starts to wander,
and painful memories flood my mind
i ask myself why?
but remind myself
there are thoughts to be thought of tonight.

as if on cue a sudden gust of wind
sends the dead leafs fluttering into the air
into a mad and frantic frenzy,
swirling, spinning, spiraling down
in a demented dance of sorts
the wind emits a final howl
and ever so slowly lays the dead the beautiful dead
to an eternal rest.

i head for home and silently pray
for at the very least
a final lunatic dance with madam death
before she lays me down to rest,
but best of all
i feel at peace.

That last dance of the autumn leaves is always so deeply inspiring indeed.

And your beautiful poem is the proof that a walk such as yours is always inspiring and healing too. You are at peace.

Enjoyed walking along with you, Richard.
