Autumn Leaf

I
                             was 
		            glad
                            when 
                           spring 
                          arrived  
                      and morning 
                    sunrays  gave a
                 tender kiss. I blushed 
              in  green  while  dewdrops 
          quenched my thirst. As I peeped 
       from the branches, gazed the blue sky,
   calm breeze  whispered  and sang a lullaby.
 I fell in  love  with  life, but  when  fall  arrived, 
I  lost  some  weight  and   dried.   Black  clouds  
 blocked the Sun and conspired to create chaos. 
   Thunder like hammer created unrest, while 
      wind  carrying  its   anger  grabbed  me 
          towards  an  unknown  land,  aloft 
            adrift,   alone  and  buried  me  
                 deep   beneath    the           
                               dust
                                  and
                                    the 
                                      sa-
                                       nd.
