En Richness of Light

The crave of the leaf to reach its goal To capture the rays of the sun As it enriches its soul To live for a season Greened full of life At the end of it's cycle It brings new life Browned and creased As it hangs by a thread This canopy of life In seasonal dead Drifts to the ground In a spiral twirl Joining a carpet On this earthen-ed world Time will decay This seasonal joy Its nutrients left Nature will re-employ As Spring returns And a new born is bloomed Knowing that its future Is already doomed " written in response to the picture that appeared as i read Raul's Haiku - New Leaf "
