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
