As the leaves fall and take on a new identity
So do we
Brave ourselves for the howling winds
Putting on layers of clothing to protect ourselves from the gloomy months
As the leaves fall and change colors
So do we
Go from vibrant, jovial people
To pallid, poignant people
As the leaves fall and prepare for winter
So do we

Silence
Is the loudest noise of all
It pounds in your ear
And keeps you up at night
Until you are teeming with anger
Only to be silenced again
