Autumn’s embrace
Held us gently in a place
Where love was shedding its leaves
Of gold and red
And when the time for leaving came
We met it with the only response
Ours soul could
Surrender
As the trees surrendered their foliage to the breeze
We allowed what needed to be
Taken
To be shed
Realising with dread
There was no other way
Emerging From The Dark Night
