As the Leaves Fall
November 23, 2020
Gone are the sunny days
Where bright green leaves
Adorned the earth with sheer brilliance
Fall has come
And the sun has started to shy away,
Allowing for the wind to come and play
The wind
So fierce and relentless
Blow the leaves,
Pushing them around
And the leaves must learn
To survive the storm
Every leaf
Must endure the change
Every leaf
Must let the wind take its course
Allowing the wind to blow them around in gusts of uncertainty
So as to be found again
Because eventually,
The storm will lift,
And the sun will return
And the leaf,
Once more
Will be born again.
