Autumn Breezes

Today, you’ll see colorful leaves dancing on the cool autumn breeze as
the night grows longer and longer. Once upon a time, you feared
what lurked on the other side of dusk. Now, the world beckons.

The sun will soon set, and you’ll follow those leaves
into the night’s cool embrace. You’ll sway along with
their dance until they swirl up, up, up into the sky, and
then you’ll walk alongside the ever-twinkling stars.
