Leaving Autumn

sadly now,
she stood with trepidation

allow me the crisp autumn air
with lithe leaves in its dance
allow me the soft autumn wind
weaving its dance amongst my hair
refuse me not please
a sweet send off to winter's cold

sadly now,
she stood with trepidation

let the earth don a smile in my place
wave my goodbyes for me
hark to the wind
let me pass please
i'm getting tired
do not halt now
