The Wish Of An Autumn Leaf

I wish…

To silently

Tumble down

And come to rest 

Upon the ground

Waiting for

You to come

‘The calm brush of breeze’

In a swirl to touch my face

And provoke a smile.

I want you 

To enthrall me

By your tender touch

And tease me 

With a gentle kiss

Before you 

Sweep me 

Off my feet

And make me fly

Wildly fly

Till we nearly 

Reach the sky.

And then…

Yes!

You can 

Leave me 

To let me fall 

Once again

Slowly to the dark ground

Where finally 

My satiated heart

May lull my soul

To eternal rest.
