Autumn Vows

Innocence

Capture the winds of innocence

shades on the moon

glowing soft in the distance

The swaying trees sing and dance

among the rustling leaves

and send their love about in soft pastels

Experience

Exuberant, they raise and dash the waves

Ireful in their stormy rage

Whether fading or growing

They shape all with experience

Wisdom

Through cavern and gorge

whisk the winds of wisdom

whistling of civilizations past

and dancing on the fields of eternity
