A leaf falls
Brown and wrinkled
Starved of it's trees sweet nectar
A leaf falls
And while they are shedding their summer cloaks
We are adorning ourselves with scarves and hats,
Gloves and mufflers
Shivering at their barely clad skeletons
Huddling around their burning flesh
A leaf falls
It twists and dances in the wind
joyous at it's freedom
joyous as it plummets to the earth
Nourishment for it's mother tree
We watch and marvel at the beauty in the entropy
At the renewal that comes with destruction
A leaf falls
A change is upon us
A rebirth into a crisp and clear world
A leaf falls.
