leaves fall now


leaves fall now, like tears

shed for summer’s loss


mists gather in the hollows

rusted as memories, long unbidden

and i burn like the hearts of trees

worn insanely on their sleeves

begging for release by swirling winds,

the fierce promise

of winter’s all-encompassing embrace,

death

not death

but dreaming

waiting for the Lord of Light’s return


so many songs flowing,

strong currents racing beneath the silent ice,

sounding the depths of these hills

the Living vibration of the earth

the rhythms of the tides

the nearly noiseless susurration of ice crystals

dancing, falling

suspended in the air in dark of night

random

to melt as One into the earth

and bring forth new life

in its Time
