Autumn Leaf

Grasses waving at the soft orange sunsets,

You and I laying next to each,

counting

shapes of clouds…

Some southwest wind

whispering a long forgotten ancient story,

buried underneath some faraway waters near the horizon,

deep rosy dream mixed with some azure green past life memories.

The whole world suddenly seemed so quiet.

We finally

give up fighting,

surrendering the self to the wind…

Dappling golden orange sunlight,

softly and gently wrapping its gossamer wings around

our autumn breath.

Let’s close our eyes,

take a brave jump…surrender and

dive into this mysterious unknown.

Allow gravity take full control, and empty out

those inundating story-lines,

allow trains of thoughts slowly drifting off the old records’ tracks…

Allow the chill autumn wind,

to sweep off our feet.

Hearts plunge deeper into

this season of changing colors.

Brave child,

let’s go sky-diving, together

spinning like an autumn leaf.

Spreading our wings wider,

dancing, spinning, and

singing our hearts on and on--

the song of earth

and our journey

back home.
