smells of autumn swirl
as sunshine bounces from golden leaves
a breeze carries last waves of warmth
no longer dressed in summer blooms
tall branches wave
flags snap in the wind
reminding that time marches unwavering
cataloging memories
with eyes fixed forward
as miles stack behind
dragonflies have long passed by
while seasons change
searching for a pot of gold is futile
without laying in fields along the way
get back to loving each other
to stay right here
is no small ask
moments that matter
are easier to cherish
when played at a slower speed
paths are set by the stars
and the determined heart
turning points often marked
by unseen corners
hold on loosely

I found your 3rd stanza exquisite and very moving for me…..
