Autumn leaves color the trees like fire
Mycelium fruits from spores.
Magical pyres
And thorny briars
Open ancient doors.
The water moves with gentle waves
Cold air blows from the North.
From distant plains
Here walks the Fae,
Watch as one comes forth.
The spirit consumes the offered fruit
and grounds itself to trees.
Its feet take root
as branches shoot
And now it is set free.
