meet me under the apple trees
bulging with greening fruits & berries bold
as afternoon sun rusts the skylight
as the maple leaves amber gold
i breathe in - scents of late summer roses,
fading mint leaves, seedheads fluffy & white
as the maple leaves amber gold
as afternoon sun rusts the skylight
clock chimes into early autumn
i watch shadows lengthen & fold
as afternoon sun rusts the skylight
as the maple leaves amber gold
let's ramble the road with daisies
and swap stories as birds on flight
as the maple leaves amber gold
as afternoon sun rusts the skylight
Maple Leaves
