Tribute To the Fallen Leaves

Breezing trees heard the whispers of leaves
The autumn has cast its shadow
The sun is on its round of the sky
And the wind is quickening its pace,
A choir of sighs is building up
Breaking the hush in the forest, 
The trees are counting their losses 
As the leaves went dry and frugal 
Are gradually shedding their abode
In spades, drifting down slowly 
In movements rhythmic of Ballerinas
On their last dance, in waves sinuous 
In harmony with the music crunching 
Played by feet aplenty 
On their daily walks in the forest  
Crushing the fallen into thousand pieces,
In vain was not their life
Giving shades to travelers while in life
And once fallen serving as a staple
To their companions in life, or 
Turned into duff serving as shields
To smother parasite seeds
Under their companions turned barren.


Breezing trees heard the whispers of leaves - From the poem, The last goodbye by Vijay Pandit

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
