Flit away on the wind Swirling like autumn leaves Twisting on the sidewalk Children or dogs run through Chasing this leaf then that Then another distracts and they're off Raked into a pile on the lawn A gust blows them all away again Tumbling down the street Colours turn into browns, Crisp turns into soil, sustenance for trees Their branches reaching skyward Sometimes I'm like the trees Sometimes I'm like the leaves Sometimes leafing, sometimes leaving.

Like the Leaves
Flit away on the wind Swirling like autumn leaves Twisting on the sidewalk Children or dogs run through Chasing this leaf then that Then another distracts and they're off Raked into a pile on the lawn A gust blows them all away again Tumbling down the street Colours turn into browns, Crisp turns into soil, sustenance for trees Their branches reaching skyward Sometimes I'm like the trees Sometimes I'm like the leaves Sometimes leafing, sometimes leaving.
