 Gazing at the autumn leaves caught in a breeze I see a brief reflection of the inner me Blowing to and fro...back and forth they tease Lifting up...dropping down trying to break free One minute holding to the strength of the limb Then swept away in arms of the breeze Soaring...floating toward the heavens it swims A moment of freedom...once released from the trees Just when it’s seen all the beauty it can stand The embrace of the wind lets go Released from the hold of a strong hand Questioning where it will land....it does not know Spinning helplessly past others held tight With no wings or arms to reach out Left powerless...falling from their sight If only it had a voice...you would hear it shout Bracing for the impact as it plummets down Snatched from the fall within another gust Surrounded by sunlight’s golden gown To the wind it bestows unfailing trust Again soaring free....then the wind lets go Spiraling downward without a net to save Landing out of sight...the wind ceases to blow To the wind it became a mere slave Brilliant colors to browns they dim Left to dry, fall apart and decay Life's breath gone with out the limb The wind blows the last remains away [This message has been edited by Butterflies_dont_cry (edited 09-22-2000).] |

Again soaring free....then the wind lets go Spiraling downward without a net to save Landing out of sight...the wind ceases to blow To the wind it became a mere slave Brilliant colors to browns they dim Left to dry, fall apart and decay Life's breath gone with out the limb The wind blows the last remains away ================= "the answer my friend ...is blowing in the wind... the answer is blowing in the wind"... (blowing in from the south me thinks) (or is that from Heaven) *winkiewinkie* me loves ya me |

My absolute favourite season. You have taken one single event and entwined all facets of autumn within it. A show of beauty, finality and renewal. I loved it! Trev. |

Goddess......yes I agree.......this was beautiful....very touching.....and the colors were great. Let the wind blow.........You do realize that you are amazing right? This is one of my favorite's I would have to say as it captures a living event and mimicks a feeling I have felt....What is that a metaphor or something......LOL Take care. Jenn E |

Butterflies, my kid, I wasn't around when you posted this, but I think it is that time of year again and fits in just fine! Fall is the end of something but it leaves in such splender! Hurry back, Mom Earth |
