Autumn Leaves

Trees shed

Their Autumn Leaves.

Autumn Leaves-

That fall,

That twirl

And then embrace the ground.

Autumn Leaves-

That flood

The pathways I tread

And the horizon I see.

Amidst them, I halt

Amongst them, I sit,

Stare and admire

Them as they shower from trees.

I listen to them,

As they rustle,

And cuddle

In the soothing autumn breeze.

Wondrous it is to listen

To the tales they tell,

Tales spelled out in their toungueless accents

Tales that are the soul of each of those

Falling, twirling, rustling

Autumn Leaves.
