Painted leaves sing in unison
Unlike music, their song
is soundless harmony.
This orchestra of color
soothes the tempo
an internal pounding
from a day of instruments
that refused to play
the same song.
Fall catches me
with muted volume
a serenade of equilibrium.

their song

This is a beautiful poem Ali. It evokes the subtle quiet beauty of fall. I hope autumn gets here soon. I’m tired of temps in the high 80s!
