AUTUMN LEAVES

Crisp, cool wind blowing through the tree
Branches yielding, bending
Bitterness settles in……turning
Leaves that were alive
To slowly die an fall
So dry an brittle are the leaves
Crumbling, breaking, crying out
Finally ~ release from the pain
Bright, white light falling from above
Blanketing the leaves to rest forever
Giving promise of a new day coming
The cool wind turning warmer
Newer, stronger life begins
Without you.
