"Dead leaves lay still until the wind takes them~here and there: even the last flower is withered: yet there is a beauty in decay. " Quote by _Constance La France Ah, east wind—you trekked afar for fallen foliage. A growing impulse to claim a human life away. Finally soaking it in, you boosted your dosage. Soothing the sting of idleness and recalling decay Tell me, for whom are you persevering to wait? I'll unpack things and sit down once it's too late. Sunny or rainy skies, can love set you elate? Oh, wind, if you're after me, I'll greet you with glee. The roar of the sand yelled forth, wild and free. Clapped hands, all the broad leaves around me Decay is infinite; by using a taciturn tone, no judge I would plant my seeds even if Cosmo died today. Synergy solves queries, but discord swells hate. I often felt decay was as pretty and rich as spree.
