…never fade

As I sit here alone
the cherry blossoms
are falling
like wishes

I watch
the gathering shadows
changing
in the light

a gentle breeze
dances by
like dreams
causing petals
to scatter

I think suddenly
of home
where by now
the leaves are falling

and the mist of autumn
will be spreading
its’ colours
over all

these memories
never fade
and in the moment
it’s like catching sight
of heaven’s light

while my journey
unfolds further
every day
