deafening quiet; solace forever
nature’s glory, connection eternal
streets are dark, and love is you
chill of autumn in your hair
breeze moving us along like ghosts
gaunt bodies through the streets
lifeless yet alight
leaves sweeping across and up
and all around, a gentle hurricane
of green and brown, red and orange
a cacophony of color
encompassing you
I reached for you
and plucked a yellow leaf from your curls
and held it to the moonlit sky
and I watched it glow
like morning dew in the sun
then, all I could do was smile
and all you could see
was me

This poem paints a vivid picture of a shared moment of connection amidst the quiet beauty of autumn. The imagery is striking, capturing the stillness and the vibrancy of the season. The use of sensory details, such as the "chill of autumn in your hair" and the "cacophony of color," creates a strong sense of atmosphere. The central theme of human connection, expressed through the shared experience of nature, is both poignant and uplifting. The final image of the glowing leaf is a beautiful metaphor for the magic of the moment.
Please please please let this be based on something that happened! Either way, such an amazing and imagery filled poem, it took me into that moment so well! 🩷🩷🩷
