Extension of Its Own Self
The ground is covered with leaves
A grouping of orange all around
A reddish purple exists
Where green used to be
There lies the shadow
From a tree that stands
In formation
With more of these leaves
Some a lavender color
The tree stands firm
A solid trunk it has
This skeleton of branches
And of a firm base
Is reflected directly
Onto the ground
Lending a mirror view
With the leaves on the ground
Looking just like the leaves
That are on the tree itself
Beauty upon beauty
It looks like an extension
Of its own self
These two are united
Through the ground
