Fall Leaves

Withered leaves, descending shrewdly 
From sturdy old senior tree 
High in the midst of peaceful, cool nature 
Each and every leaf passing on
Whispering and stirring a calming sound 
Of radiant, dry, early day 
To this lower world a turning 
Its faltering parachute winging
Gently whirling round and round
Dropping to the delicate padded ground
