I see them drift to the floor their smell soothing in the crisp evening air its reaching dusk as I walk home its dark out the first flecks of winter's virgin snow landing upon my lashes weighing my gaze down upon the floor were no snow settles but I bear witness to the dance of the leaves a frenzied and illustrious activity whipping around my legs as I try to continue and not stop to stare at them.
The snow finally ceases its fluttering being replaced by a freezing rain almost as refreshing as an iced drink in an Arabian summer bow all traces of a whitened winding pathway are lost leaving little streams of the coldest water trickling past my feet carrying those same dancing leaves like small boats their passengers you ask? Well what else but a crystal of the purest snow, trapped in the concave shape of its little vessel.
Finally the moon takes its place among the stars above me my feet take up their steady pace once again as I walk wonder what creeps among these fallen leaves is there a feral hunter with slitted eyes a glowing yellow in colour watching me traipse his path blood red tail with its whitened tip swinging out behind him and precise ears honing in its prey or is it a small animal whiskers stretching out almost as far as him and a twitching tail trailing behind, his beady black eyes watching for those who wish to harm him saucer like ears following any sound made by him to see when he should slink away.
I try to quieten my breath but really I should be pulling more in this unseen but beautiful world has taken my breath away, I try in a slow twirl to fully absorb this beauty but as my hair fly's along with my twirl the spell is broken I am free to leave but I will be back to once again get lost in my own little world of Autumn Leaves.
