Silent Death
Leaves under my feet
The lonely trees watch them fall
Weeping at the sight
The smell of fall fills the air
As the ground becomes a grave
The trees mourn their loss
Cursing fall's interference
The limbs pay tribute
Swaying in the autumn breeze
Saying farewell to the leaves
Freed from their prison
Racing to meet their purpose
Destiny fulfilled
They rest till they turn to dust
And suddenly disappear
