DECIDUOUS
DECIDUOUS
My leaves are memories of an earlier time
As in the scheme of things, I’ll heed the call
And when the season comes, I let them fall
But nature offers just that kind of rhyme
To keep them are as steps I cannot climb
And winter in my mind, it builds a wall
My thoughts may fade with farewells to them all
Each functional and handsome in their prime
I’m sad when I accept they have to go
To lie there still, or flutter in the breeze
Such recollections really cannot last
Yet golden as they were, it’s time, I know
I sense that I am resonant with trees
My mind now bare of everything that’s passed
