Dancing With Falling Leaves

Thinking of falling leaves in the coming month of October, had me remembering a couple of poems I wrote a couple of years ago. I thought I would share them with you for today's poetry day.

Come Play With Me

How gentle the autumn breeze blows today,
I listen intensely as It seems to say.
"Come play with me as I joyously dance around,
I promise your feet will never leave the ground".

It's early morn and leaves are twirling too,
And I think, "they are dancing just for you".
No more hesitation on my part, I run outside,
But sadly the breeze does suddenly subside.

With a sigh and a smile to myself I say,
The autumn breeze will be back to play.
And I will be there to dance around,
As the leaves swirl softly to the ground.

Every Falling Leaf

Every falling Autumn leaf
now dancing to the ground
With grace and softness moves
to music without a sound

With awe and wonder I watch
as they circle to the ground
Such color and beauty to behold
while they dance to silent sound

The autumn chill does warm
the coldness in my heart
As circling leaves come down
my feet happily take part

And every falling Autumn leaf
now dancing to the ground
With grace and softness moves
with me to music without a sound.
