AUGUST LEAVES
Leaves going out to the Ocean
Mixing their souls with the sand
Tasting of salt and the deep winds
Spreading their lives on the strands
Showing their colors the greens and the golds
Yellows and reds all the best
While dying denying the cost and the hope
With the Sea as their last place to rest
Rest in peace and in shards may
Adventure be yours and may Time
Which has marked your life-long
Mark your death with a sigh in the
Winds and the waves mark your life
With a whisper of song
May I always see Life in the fall of each leaf
Which like you is a mirror to my own
I'll sing my Sea songs on my own
I'll know they're my passage back home....
Repeat entire first verse....

Except for a few passages, I actually heard a waltz. Very interesting because of internal rhyming schemes. Intriguing.
