Autumn Leaves volume 6 number 7 |
Embers glow brightly, cheerfully
Colors
warm and inviting
Smoke curls heavenward
With the whorl of the winds.
Treetops bending
Look down upon our
camp
See this fire, this foe
And back away from its danger.
Flames reaching upward
To grasp the
night
Giving us light and warmth
On our last night with nature.
Stay, whispers the trees,
Stay and see the
changes!
Although the fire blazes merrily
It too knows we must go in the
morn.
Embers still glow warmly
But can sense the
changes
For within this brightness
Lurks the sadness of departure.
