Music of Leaves

The tired leaves flutter down One by one they kiss the fall At the mercy of the breeze They bow to cold winter's call... The apple trees seem barren But they gather strength for spring A spark of life is resting there Waiting until new life begins... Beneath our feet leaves murmur One last gift to end the year A symphony is minor tones Listen, their soft song to hear...

Hi Barbara,...this is unique..the leaves have completed their work for the season and their sound is their one last gift...so nice a theme. Personification galore. I don't hear a minor key,...I hear D minor...Have a wonderful weekend. Congrats on your creativity being honored with this winning write. Love, Gwendolen
