Autumn Leaves

The autumn leaves
Drift by the window
Reminding me that
I swept moments ago

I sweep them all up again
And feel quite pleased
But then more fall down
In the gentle breeze

I could just leave them
Pretend not to care at all
                ….but it's impossible to ignore them!
When autumn leaves
Start to fall


(With apologies to the beautiful song 'Autumn Leaves' by J Kosma)
