Falling Leaves

As the Sun of new Rains 
begins to rise 

To help earth bury yesters
under its guise

Rustling leaves fly
Down the trees

Singing merrily 
With the breeze 

Knowing, 
its the last journey 

Still they come 
Swaying with pride 

Thinking not of the end 
But a new life 

Proud to 
be burried and 
transformed into dust 

To nurture 
a fresh spring 
from earthen crust

'...fresh spring from earthen crust,' ...a richly descriptive phrase. A splendid piece, detailing the demise of the deciduous leaf. BRAVO! Best wishes, Keith
