Autumn Leaves

                                           Autumn Leaves

              When leaves in the midst of trees change their hues
                         Turning to a sweet palette of colours
                       From yellow to orange, purple and gold
                      They herald coming of the autumn train.

                       When leaves of a kaleidoscope of tints
                 Hang on trees, it is time to quit one`s books,
                     Venture for a stroll in the nearby park
                  And relish the eyes with nature`s brilliance.

               When leaves from midst of trees whirl in the air
             Whipped by wet winds whispering from the north
                    And softly land to kiss the humid ground
                       It is time to reflect on their essence.

                       Mellowing and fallen autumn leaves
                      Bring to light nature`s solemn cycle,
                         The brevity of the life of leaves
                    And their renewal in the coming season.

                  In the same vein the fall of autumn leaves
                         Is akin to the withering of man,
                      Liberation from the bondage of life
                  And the hopes for rebirth in a new garb.
