Tree of Hope

She watched in childlike wonder

As hope fell from the trees,

Honeyed sanity swirling

On a tender autumn breeze.

 

Most glittering and golden

In the vanishing sunlight;

Some still painted crimson

No strangers to great plight.

 

They nestled in her hair

Showering her with earthy grace.

And as her fear melted away

Humbled tears adorned her face.

 

She danced that night with nature

Beneath the pumpkin harvest moon

Her demons left un-slain,

But the trees all whispered, “Soon.”

So close to nature and autumnal beauty at its zenith. But imagining all that with beautiful lady gives you a picture perfect moment. Very vivid and beautiful.
