Autumn confetti,
Embraces you.
Look up
See the cathedral roof!
An arch of leaves
Reach to the weathered middle.
An intricate structure
Of determination and strength
Brighter than stained glass windows
Of orange and golds and deepening reds
Lit by a holy sky,
Autumn lights in flight
Say it with love.
Breathe deeper,
Smile quietly,
Smile on the inside
Know that you did the right thing,
You sneaked out
Fleeting minutes
To see the most exquisite beauty of all.
We are blessed you see
With simplicity
After all.
