The Dance

Falling leaves
make their dance
in the wind
of evening

Within
there is light

Hands touch
in the dance
Hands hold and
steps
cross in time

Our great grandfathers
and great grandmothers
many times back
danced as we do
in this same place

Long time memories echo
as their spirits rise
to dance with us
in the shadows

Outside
as long ago
leaves continue their dance
at nightfall
in autumn’s wind
