Like old friends passing
Dying leaves wave in the wind
Their fall departure
Invokes a sweet retrouvaille
In vivid autumn color

What an excellent word, Jennifer. I like how the seasons are connected—one season plays off the other. Those cycles affect us more than we realize. Great use of the word! 💜
