dancing leaves
high on top of a hill
so tall
surrounded by autumn leaves
as they fall
each one dancing their life
till the end
my thoughts go to
a long lost friend
moments of laughter
fill my minds air
as i recall the twinkle
in her blue stare
friends for so long
that time melts away
until distance comes along
and they no longer stay
too far apart now
from that moment now gone
different paths taken
some short, some so long
the light of the friendship
once strong and bright
slowly fades away
until it’s as black as night
looking at the dancing leaves
i think of my friend
our friendship we promised
would never end
wondering if there are moments
like this, that she
watches dancing leaves
and thinks of me
