Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Autumn Embrace

© Teresa Perin
Watching the October sunsets
Waltzing under autumn sky
You and I
Green leaves rust, turn to dust
Let the summer die
Summer's new, searing yellow
Autumn's rich, mellow.

Disregarding rain and puddles
We stay warm despite the cold
Let's grow old
Storms will blow, come and go
As our story's told
We'll keep dancing, never rend
As we dip and bend.
