deafening quiet; solace forever
nature’s glory, connection eternal
streets are dark, and love is you
chill of autumn in your hair
breeze moving us along like ghosts
gaunt bodies through the streets
lifeless yet alight
leaves sweeping across and up
and all around, a gentle hurricane
of green and brown, red and orange
a cacophony of color
encompassing you
I reached for you
and plucked a yellow leaf from your curls
and held it to the moonlit sky
and I watched it glow
like morning dew in the sun
then, all I could do was smile
and all you could see
was me

I want to erase the tears of all those who trusted in hope; I want them to be left with a smile on their faces.
