Autumn unfolds with a whispering waltz, a soft, soothing symphony of hues and sounds. The air, crisp and clear, carries the tender echoes of summer’s end, a delicate dance of warmth and chill.

Take me on a drive. 

I'll roll the window down, 

stick out my hand, 

let it 

soar through the air, 

fly on the speed, 

fly on the wind. 

The first leaf

is let away

from the motherly grasp

of its tree's branches.

It twirls down

the veins and the webbed leaf between them

fighting

gravity

making it spin

dip

From a mere ember

the amber ignites



 

From a mere gust

The speckles of amber spread




From a mere kindle

The flock of amber glows

From a mere day

The stars begin to realign,

Opening new doors,

As summer starts to resign.

With whispers of love anew,

Fall changes what we once knew.

Bringing us a new gentleness.

One made out of love,

Wisps of long brown hair

escaping a orange knit hat

Honey brown eyes

Surrounded by black-rimmed glasses

Heart-shaped lips

Lightly covered in lip gloss

Cream sweater

Under a green puffy jacket

Your brown eyes

Long lashes

Blond hair pulled back

Blue nails

Your hat with the pom pom

Coat with the many zippers

Platform shoes that you were so proud of

The way you would

and here i thought we were all going to die someday;

incorrect;

our corpses (sacks of what used to be our livelihood, exhales of what used to be our lives) will 

the world is colder than before

north winds exhaling dragon breath across the valley and

my doorstep where i wait for the bus (bumblebee against concrete),

rubbing my hands together and

As the evenings got darker

And the days got colder

We became closer

As the leaves were whisked away

We began online school days

And became inseparable

The leaves fall down like routine, 

Their colors crisp and brown. 

I want to freeze this moment

When November comes around. 

The fluttering leaves that were once so lush and green and captivating and sang in the breeze,

Now, they are gold,

Wispy flakes nestled in among the reds and oranges,
