For What Reason

For what reason do my songs appear to dance with beauty

Among the red leaves tossed in autumn winds

If not for the sake of this love, I hold in my heart for thee

This fondness, which glows within

Full in your view, the loveliest apparitions fix speaking eyes

Upon the leaves dancing in song enamored of thee

A fine expression is heard in a rustling of whispered sighs

I smile in knowing, they speak to me

A splash of colors, yellow and orange begin to also hear

I watch them surrendering to dance the same

Tossed within this fondness they appear

To know and call your name

For what reason do my songs appear to dance with beauty

Among these leaves tossed in autumn winds

If not for the sake of this love, I hold in my heart for thee

Then they must dance because they can

They dance for the wind, they dance to be carried to the ears of those that would hear. Your songs dance to be enjoyed, to be sung, to be loved. For what reason? Mearly because they were written and in so being, they dance because they must. I love reading fro the fount of your quill Neva, it is a most beautiful quill that pens such inspiring words as these.

The imagery of the leaves changing color and there is a hint of love in the mix. It makes me think of a couple walking underneath the trees and the colorful leaves are falling to the ground.
