First Dance

Orange like fire,
Reminisce of the sun,
A golden leaf rides
Down on a breeze
Joined by another
Blown in from afar.

In the wind
They circle slowly,
Tumbling softly,
Pulled by gravity
Toward the earth,
And each other.

The ocean's waves
Sound a hushed beat,
Heard from a distance.
The trees sway and
Play along.
The crickets serenade
and sing a lovely song.

As they fall faster,
The fireflies begin
To flicker,
Creating an eerie
Backdrop against the
Setting Sun.

The stars watch
With curious delight
And distant wonder
As the wind's
Momentum builds,
Again,
And the dance
Begins anew.
