A Lone Leaf Falls

A lone leaf falls Lifted by the breeze On it's lonely journey Nearing it's bed 'neath the trees. Early Autumn's upon us, Leaves are changing 'fore our eyes. Each one, in turn, will fall and 'neath the tree will lie. Falling leaves are the start. Frost will next be here And summer's warmth forgotten, Left behind for another year. Leaves of red and gold everywhere Say Autumn's definitely in the air.
