Each time a leaf falls
Another heart shatters
Each time the wind blows
Another break up
But each time a pumpkin is carved
A date is planned
Each time a cider donut is devoured
Another kiss
Another night
Another bit of love

Catching fireflies
In my palms
Catching snowflakes
On my tongue
Throwing wishes
To the sky
On the wings
Of dandelions
Dreaming
With my head
In the clouds
Begging to stay
"What do you want to do when you grow up"
"I want to change the world"
"Ok but what are you going to do?"
"Change the world"
"You can't"
"I can"
"You won't"
"I will"

Aw! It's true, autumn winds can be foreboding but the season's festivities sure do bring people together.
