Doa

Yellow browns with golden flakes
Floating down from the sky
An Autumn rain from heaven
Crackling when, upon the ground
Crunching when walked on
Winds and rain releasing them
From branches they once lay
Colors gleaning from the trees
Now bare waiting for springtime
Leaving the snow a place to lay upon
With buds hiding in wait for spring
Opening with all colors of green
A new Beginning of life to fall once again
The cycle of life right before the eye
Yet all we see are dead leaves

You've created some really beautiful images here, Bobby and reminded us that to everything there is a purpose. Even the seemingly useless dead leaves provide warmth and nourishment for the next phase of life. A lovely poem.
