Down the Street Those Autumn Leaves

I was walking  down the street today
saw the trees and the gentle autumn waves.

The wind was flowing in its ease,
My eyes searching,
Leaves were everywhere.
Some were green,and the others were dry and grey.
Some were dancing
and the others were falling.

They were struggling to survive.
They don't wanna leave,
but have to maybe not today,
but the other day.

The sun was shinning at the edge.
Winds continue to blow,
they wont stop for anyone's sake.


Nor should I. 
And I started walking again.
Leaving them on their own.
