The Leaves of Life

The breath of spring gives us new hope after a long winter is our only way to cope Fresh leaves are so green and new bringing forth life in another hue Flowers, the shade, the birds and bees all busy with life as we look to the trees Summer songs from the wind as the trees talk just waiting for a couple to rest after a long walk Here and there a yellow leaf shows its locks the autumn season is just around the block We loose a few leaves as we watch them fly but we gain much more with fruit for a pie When mornings start to get a little colder the colors in the leaves get much bolder As Autumn leaves fall and hide our path winter is around to corner to show it's wrath Edward J Ebbs - October 7, 2011 Written for a Contest, LEAVES (NEW CONTEST)
