Sun flicking gaily over wind kissed leaves
Gentle caresses a present to the trees
Reds, yellows, fuschias and russets
Blending harmonious within the thicket

Whispering song floats tree to tree
As the dance of the leaves is soon to be
Fall's lovely colors have already begun
Aided and nurtured by a cooling sun

Rustling wind uplifting and strong
Twirling, dancing, the leaves sing their song
Soon trees will sleep through the cold and the dark
Awaiting the spring and a fresh new start

They sing and they dance aloft in the breeze
Life is short, ephemeral, and free
So take to the skies and live while you may
Make every moment count; embrace the day

Learn while you may from the dancing leaves
Live your life fully siezing the day
Moment by moment time is slipping away
Love and live fully, dance while you may
