Leaves Fall

Humming background
Of an autumn
Love serenade

Mimicking the last dance
Of older butterflies
Their waltz for all to see

Escorted by the wind
In a grand finale
Till gently gliding

To the ground
Fall leaves find
Their final resting place

Thank you for your visit and comment, Eileen. I got tired of thinking about winter and spring.
