I
As the seasons pass
Beyond the smoke and mirrors
Have you been counting
All of the full and new moons?
Last we spoke — it was the last

II
Did you know, Autumn?
She’s my dearest time of year
Please wait, I’m rambling
Her mystical amber glow
Afternoons’ yellow-beauty

III
She floods all the rooms
Ah, such a sight to behold
 View golden sunlight
Pass through playful swaying trees
Casts of prancing-dancing leaves

IV
Tell me you recall
Autumn is my favorite,
Magical you know!

V
I absolutely —
Love a grand blustery day
My mind can’t discern
Between swirling little birds
And the twirl of fall leaving

VI
Debris, discarded waste
That’s found lying on the ground
Scooped up, taking flight
Caught by a current of wind
Cradled, a zigzagging kite

VII
To see, realize
With eyes keen for true feelings
