changing colors

lately i have been
spending my time thinking about
 these leaves changing colors
and how vibrant the reds and oranges were
the last day
i sat next to you

the air is crisp and cool once again
my friend
and i worry you are drifting away from me
all too soon
just as the leaves fall away
and float down the river

i am hoping one becomes
frozen in that bay
like a little piece of you
that wants to stay
so when the sun comes back
and i jump into the waters
i know you are not far away

until then i know where i can find you
i saw you spending your time
standing behind your only son
in my only dream
 i had of you

so i will cling close to him
like i promised to do

like a leaf that just doesn't want to fall away...
