brown and red leaves cover
bending trees bend over to observe
the path it has taken...
green grass grows all around
nature's contrast illuminated
visitors standing on the side
shadowing all trespassers who
by this way have also journeyed...
distant blue-sky corals an innocent day
leaving us alone to ponder on...
silent walks in bare feet proclaim
that each day has come and gone,
nothing delayed or left behind
reassurance of a normal kind hands
in the balance of our thoughts...
given slowly with deliberation
wishing we were there when not
and somewhere else when there,
memories lay on the ground amidst
the leaves and also undisturbed...
waiting for other to collect them
by these trees who honor us.
