The leaves were out today

in different shades

yellow and red

green and brown

orange and burnt sienna

 

They were beautiful

changing colors

with the swaying trees

the cool breeze

and all over

they are on their knees

 

Two intertwining souls

wrapping around

the thick trunk

leading up to those fascinating

dying leaves

 

The mountains were covered

with all kinds of foliage

each little bush

each little tree

was a place for you and me

 

The breeze continued

the trees still swayed

the leaves fell today

but we are still

on our knees
