The leaves were out today
in different shades
yellow and red
green and brown
orange and burnt sienna

They were beautiful
changing colors
with the swaying trees
the cool breeze
and all over
they are on their knees

Two intertwining souls
wrapping around
the thick trunk
leading up to those fascinating
dying leaves

The mountains were covered
with all kinds of foliage
each little bush
each little tree
was a place for you and me

The breeze continued
the trees still swayed
the leaves fell today
but we are still
on our knees
