New tints

New Tints

The land wraps up in a warm coat

Around the shoulders of the hills

The trees went out to get a new doo

Angry red leaves riding on the wind

Laser crimson leaves missile into your face

Stubborn ginger leaves cling to branches

Try to pry the twig from my cold dead stem

Fierce orange leaves try to burn the world

Crackling flames dancing in the storm

Lazy yellow leaves ambling in the breeze

Deep purple leaves dancing to the beat

Leaping to crowd surf the pile with ecstasy 

Retired rusty leaves huddled in drifts

Waiting together slowly breaking down

Until everyone is buried in white
