Fall Tree Song

Underneath your flaming crown set ablaze with autumn’s fiery crescendo a crimson blanket splashed with the oranges and yellows of a dragon’s breath that swirls about with the flurry of an intoxicated ballerina performing her seasonal ballet wholly mesmerized by the enchanting songs of the summer’s wistful sirens whose haunting cries beseech the equinox to take measure of stretching shadows and mornings crisp with fall’s brisk air that gently coaxes your generous branches to release the bounty of your precious seed that cascades like rain nurturing life’s grand cycle incubating our spirit that longs for the unity that only nature provides with the simple toss of an acorn to the ground whose tiny roots much like our own provide a brief safe haven for the collective gestation of our vacuous famished souls as we prepare for the long winter’s sleep
