For the Leaves Tell the Trees
The leaves tell the tree's of a change soon to blow
shimmering in the wind, a colorful hue.
Yellow, orange, and red sparkle in the autumn suns glow
the day's grow shorter, soon they will fly like spirits on a breeze.
The sky is blue and the air crisp like an apple
late blooming flowers will soon be gone with the bee's.
Now barren, against a grey winter backdrop they settle in for a long rest
other tree's in window's shine brightly with lights all a glow.
Neighborhood children sing carols door to door and comment on ones that
look best.
Awakening from the roots once again they breathe in the spring
green life emerges all round the land.
A melody, delightful to the ears can be heard as the birds begin to sing
a certain longing, they've waited as they drink of a summers downpour.
Growing tall towards the fluffy clouds above
covered with beautiful foliage and sweet blooms for people to adore.
A familiar sight for once again I do see
for the leaves tell the tree's
It has alway's been and shall alway's be.
