Farewell

In the decent of October
with the early morning dew
came to the ground
was a wise old leaf

It's fall so silent that
only audible to the closet neighbour
was it's farewell

A colossal tremor felt
as the dew hailed 
with unforgettable pain
to the vein's discontent

It's fall so unnoticed that 
only visible to the magnified harbour
was it's farewell

Stiffened it laid on the scented bed
enriched with holiness
taken away to fade
into the ashes of the riverbed

Seasons went by 
months went by
years went by 
the leaf eroded

But fresh were the memories
of that day
of that horrible moment
the moment it lay dead

It's fall so content that
only reason for any later unrest 
was it's farewell...
