Leaves, Leaves, Leaves

LEAVES, LEAVES, LEAVES Leaves of life Maybe swaying and it maybe drying Leaves when green are with life But leaves on ground can be gone and done. Leaves presupposes lives It’s counted like calendar days Days, months, and into a year For every drop of leaves Means constant change. Leaves, leaves, leaves Official leaves are with papers in file But absence without leaves Auto ends a terminal case “You are fired”. Leaves sometimes Let or let live A love one may leave And can ever come Leaving pains Hard to alleviate!
