leaves – C & K

Words

enigmatic tree
a rustle of lush green leaves
the forbidden words

Winter tells the Woods, “The time has come for you to leave Autumn behind.”

The Woods hear Winter, yet Autumn still calls from far away.

The trees understand Autumn’s end and shed their sorry leaves.

Copper leaves;
Only a few left now.

Autumn lost;
Winter found the Woods.

Deciduous trees stand;
Silent fog breathes still.

Copper leaves fall;
Trees now stand bare.

the last of the leaves
to seethe at the sight of love
leaving love alone

My Dying Leaves

My dying leaves
the Autumn of my life
the Winter of what might have been

Maroon leaves crack and crumble in my hands,
dead before I touch them

I long for the place I cannot find,
the leaves know of not of this place I cannot find
Neither do I

Was it from the past or the future?
I cannot find it

The curtain may close before I get the chance

The wild dying leaves
Contemplating the ending
Departing Autumn

Fallen leaves gathered
We decorate our clothing
Wearing the season

The final project.
Gathering all the dead leaves,
watch them on the wind.
