Quiet, it’s October (poem)

Autumn leaves fall silently.

As silent as my lips have been lately.

As quiet as my soul, not subdued just still.

Letting those around me unravel with the wind.

I stay silent.

I turn inward with the curling leaves.

And I breathe, so deeply, peacefully.

Calm inside a world turned orange and gold.

Nothing but my love to hold.
