knowing the fall
is the time of leaves
 
rake between the raindrops
be mindless as
more are shed
randomly to
gusts and clouds
 
earth beneath your feet
air upon your cheeks
water within your hair
fill your chest with fire
 
and breathe deeply, slowly
 
knowing transition
is the time of leaves
 
find gratitude within the fall
be mindless as
less are shed
random to
gusts and clouds
 
ground around your whole
breath within your soul
wet upon your then
your fire will come when
 
the time of leaves is shed
