Aflame

Deep crimson, fiery red, burning orange, smoldering yellow
The forests are alight with fire.
They dance uncommon with frenzy 
Calling the world to join them.
"Come," says the weeping willow
"Join us," grunts a sugar maple.
Should I go? 
What is there to ponder, returns my conscience.
You know you want to.
A cacophony of mouse drifts across the field. 
The reverses entice me to join in. 
Yet still I hold back, my spirit depressed.
What have I to celebrate? 
In hope my ears perk up to listen. 
I feel a gentle breeze.
As an exhale through pale lips 
Life. 
A convincjng lie or reality?
I yearn to feel, to know real joy.
I do not know the result but I take the plunge.
Into the forests arms I wonder
Passions abound in a waves of light
Where trees are aflame with desire. 
It pulsates through my being 
I am soon enveloped in the forestry. 
A wreath of leaves, golden and divinely christened
Is placed upon my head.
Twirling trunks abd swirling leaves
Bend and fall around me.
Life burns throughout my being.
