Death of a Leaf a Sad Tale To Tell

Once Green In The Spring Then Hot Summer Nights Now Falling As trees sway in the wind sending their leaves gently to the ground It becomes a colorful array of yellow and browns floating against the sky Twirling like a kaleidoscope through the sun wondering where they will land Hitting the ground one on top of another piling them all around The rake swiftly moving creating mounds and mounds of colored leaves In a seen set for Halloween they become a natural artist arrangement Children running through them and jumping on them as if it were a game Spreading these mounds all over the ground to be raked again Cracking sounds with children laughing parents thinking, They must be racked up again as the wind picks them up floating afar With pumpkins being carved and candles placed inside lighting up this seen Darkness falls children in costumes making a crunching crackling sounds Through the leaves yelling and screaming trick or treating These leafs know the end is near and soon they will burn becoming Ashes and the smoke rising by the trees that once held them This sad story of a leafs life will be told ever year over and over Until the death of that tree that once held those beautiful yellow and gold brown leaves This is THE END Of Just One Leafs Life
