A woman goes to the park and sees clouds slowly moving across the sky. The dark clouds seem ominous and foreboding. She sees the church in the distance and wonders if it is a path to heaven or eternal happiness. In a dark alley, memories come to her as she sees autumn leaves of red and gold. A tree stands strong, rooted in the earth, as life and memories continue on unchanged.

Ecstasies
The poem describes two individuals who undergo a transformative experience after being shown visions by a mystical woman.
