Fall

Softly summer slithers by
Breezes warn of winter
Short days ahead, dark closing in
Unwelcome but familiar
Firebold colors dazzle me
Blue desires unbidden
Invitation, jump right in
Uncover what lies hidden

Grant me permission, whisper "what if"
Give me a push, a nudge toward that cliff
Close my eyes, shut my mind, arms flung wide
Fall

Did I read your signal?
Dare I cross that line? (hey, what do you think you're doing?)
Inhale clove spiced yearnings
Smoke tongued autumn wine (hey, who do you think you are?)
Your crimson berries wink so sweet
Promising renewal
Underlying tartness may
Play me for a fool (careful, careful)

Grant me permission, whisper "what if"
Give me a push, a nudge toward that cliff
Close my eyes, shut my mind, arms flung wide
Fall
Take me down, Fall

Loosened , love worn layers
Cover frigid feet (cold in here baby)
Time's relentless orbit
Flings us farther from the heat (so cold, so cold)
Wind stripped trees stand alone
Defiant in exposure
Songbirds winging safely south
Everything seeks closure

Grant me permission,whisper "what if"
Give me a push, a nudge toward that cliff
Close my eyes,shut my mind, arms flung wide
Fall

Take me down, Fall
