leaves fall
Leaving the roots, the trunk, branches
Slow, delicate Journey
Towards the destination; their purpose
Some are here to stay
Some scatter away
Yellow leaves
Filling up with streaks of brown
Venom spreading through veins
They fall again
No more hint of color
No freshness
Until there’s nothing left but
Brown rust and stiffness
Leaves they fall
Returning to the roots
