Patchwork Quilt

Autumn leaves (Form: Shadorma)

Patchwork Quilt


Northern winds
unmask branches bare;
leaves dance and
fill the air.
A whispered colored farewell
is their final prayer.

They lay, a
patchwork quilt upon
the cooling
earth, now drawn
protectively as rebirth
dreams await spring’s dawn.
