Dancing Leaves

I watch the old leaves flutter in the breeze On the tree that doesn’t let them go All through winter they stay through storms, Cold and falling snow Tan in color, pale by spring Worn and tattered a bit, still hanging Delicate but strong, holding on each winter season As we all do with some things, for a reason Right now, they’re dancing in the sunlight today Some things are worth holding onto, I’d say!

Any leaves in the wintertime are a welcome sight. Beautiful imagery.

Yes, this one tree, does this each year, keeps its leaves. Thank you for your kind feedback. :) Have a nice day!

To find pleasure in small, seemingly insignificant things...part of life’s enjoyment! You captured this feeling so well in your poem, Heidi! I really enjoyed this one! :)
