ode to autumn

autumnleaves

twirl me on the cooling breeze
toss my hair with feathered kiss,
gaze at me through smoky haze
of embers warm and luminous.
lay me down on sodden beds
where the veil is ever thin,
pungent, fragrant gold-red death
pale moon glow upon my skin.
season of my heart and soul
faithful, grace-filled, ever true
meet me for our yearly tryst
here beneath the harvest moon.
