Among the Tallest Trees

I took a walk outside today to see what I could see, I lingered in the sweetest breeze among the tallest trees

My eyes gazed upon a massive trunk and continued to the top, the gentle breeze picked up a bit and the leaves began to drop

I stood in silent wonder as I watched each one prance, floating, spinning, twirling in unison they dance

Bright mounds of yellow and orange lay silent on the ground, then once again the breeze picks up and spins them all around

Suddenly they dance again as they are hurled into the breeze, looking for their place of rest among the tallest trees

One of the wonders of the Fall season that I enjoy experiencing living up north after growing up in Florida is what you have just descibed so beautifully.
