We Are Dry Leaves Once Were Fresh

We are dry leaves 
once were fresh;
Green lush and alluring,
Same like you;
Sought fresh breeze,
Discharged rancid breath,
We were once,
source of growth,
But now we are aged 
No more use of tree,
Don't step on us,
Don't crush by foot,
Gives us pain,
Hurts our heart,
Pierces our soul,
We are dry leaves...
We once were fresh...
But its now autumn
We are back to earth
World discards aged,
But don't know we too 
were part of growth,

Wow that very deep! As a child, Mom and Dad would take us to Tobyhanna during the Autumn to admire the leaves. Thank you for reminding me of those cooler temperatures!
