Leaves


From the nourishment of the Earth, they 
grow colourful and vibrant, to cover the 
naked branches of the trees.
To the trees, a blessing are the leaves.

No matter their size, colour, or shape, 
together in unity they toil,
Day and night, rain or shine, purifying 
the air not just for one living creature 
but for all living creatures,
To the Living, a blessing are the leaves.

Withered and torn, they mingle in the 
breath of a gentle breeze, one by one, 
softly falling to the ground to nourish 
the Earth.
To the Earth, a blessing, are the 
leaves.

Hello Zyrool, yes winter is here. Autumn went home. It was bound to snow sooner or later. Everything looks so clean with the white snow. Hugs. /Darlene/
