Fall
The golden leaves fall
The child sits watching
His eyes glued skyward
The sweet smell calming
His small body relaxing
Breathing in autumn air
Crisp and clean
A hand reaches out
Catching a leaf in palm
Looking at the crisp beauty
Looking at the vein lines
Thinking about similarities
To the life he lives
Simple, true
He could be napping
Inside on the office couch
Not thinking about anything
But this serves just as well
The outside so peaceful
Making him forget it all
All the pain
A voice from within comes
Causing him to stir and look
Up to see the woman with
The autumn like hair
Also bringing comfort
Also being steadfast
Warm smile
A hand reached out
He reaches up and grabs
Letting her help him up
The peace washing over
Matching the weather
Being a sweet calm
