Bouquet of Autumn Leaves

Pick a bouquet of autumn leaves
Heavy paint patterns
Zebra stripe yellow and deep red
Revealed under the green
Collect the yellow maple leaves
That show off against the twilight
Long shadowed sun
Dipping deep in the west
Seeking winter rest
Here the pinch of regret
Of colors having to pass away
A of the delicate fair pink roses
Whose petals now dance on the
Twilight autumn wind
That I too could fly away
To some wind swept rest
Wrapped in rose petals and painted leaves
