For Autumn and for Always...... a "Trace and Julie" collaboration

Tis the season to enjoy the fall of leaves and Autumn

When the sun won't shine
like I want it to
and my thoughts bleed shades of grey
I will lean on you

 
When your heart is sad and heavy
and cold winds seem to call
When you need arms to hold you

I’ll catch you should you fall

 

 

         

It is Autumn

the air filled with pumpkin scents

and golden hues

 

Change stirs the breeze, ruffling the leaves

once lush and green,

dressing the trees in tiny flames

f

                i

                                    n

                        g

                              like rain

 in crimson red and brilliant orange

 

                                Still,

                 it’s a winsome breeze

perhaps it doesn’t know

                                 it’s almost winter….

 

When the leaves have fallen

and the breeze shivers through lonely branches,

I’ll find shelter in your arms

Knowing....

                                     I can lean on you

                                                                 you would never let me fall

This one is very interesting you two. It's almost like you took two separate poems and concepts of autumn and made it one. Again you do beautiful work together. The kind that only friends who know each other can make work. I love the passion that is entwined into your concept of "fall" it works well with the concept.
