When the Leafs Leave and Lay

I wish I could hear the trickles and the tears from these leaves till they lose color. Loosening, only to float down or travel on the sky expressthe breath of mother-earth. Guiding you to their next rebirth and as they lay and it feel its decay trickling once again. Down swords of green sinking, linking against the depth of ground collided and bonded. Next, responded cradling a new growth. From then leaves took an oath to be patient be free. Accept fate, and to just be..
