like a leaf in the warm breeze of autumn
we
f
a
l
l
d

w
n
in the flashes of twirling reds
in the comforts of orange
in the flickering of yellow
that the common onlooker may see
we
f
a
l
l
d

n
to end the b r e a t h i n g life of summer
with such vivid colors
a dance in which we share
so we may feel the
warmth of our colors in the winter
tis our lively season's end
and our minds beginning
we'll hit the ground with such a force
and we'll
s h a t t e r
into p e
i c e
s
death shall kill us both
and we'll be buried
underneath the snow
and if and when we
finally awake to spring
i shall hope the almost ethereal
cherry blossoms bloom
in behalf of you and i
for our time apart,
has made our roots g r o w
d
e
e
p
e
r into the earth
intertwined hands
that touched during the winter
because when the ice covered the sky,
and theres was no place up to look
we looked down and remembered our past
and grew roots to hold each other
"im here"
"im going though the cold too"
"lets grow together"
