Fall Days

My mind goes back to the fall days
Leaves drifting from the trees
I memorize the color

Branches that my hands grab ahold
Slipping feet that fail to climb
Struggling to stay out of life's reach

Breaking the grip, I reach the sky
Touch the clouds with my fingertips
Dreaming of better days

Thoughts blown away with the wind
Live the day until the setting sun
Let in the happiness again
