Leaves

Hanging tresses,
Colored dresses,
Dancing to and fro as one

Tossing, turning,
Ever yearning
For a swath of midday sun

Singing, sighing,
Sometimes crying;
From their lofty limbs, they call

Rustling, blowing,
Never knowing
When they are at last to fall

Green or dying,
Still or flying,
All must beckon to the breeze

Softly swaying,
Always playing
Simple music of the leaves.
