dead leaves, naive to any else fallen.

Things have changed since boyhood, the bees are silent, the landscape has changed,
Gone, honey-laden scented flowers of the old...

Its dark, i cant see
In this park,  its just me
A wrong turn and I'm lost wandering
Was too deep in thought just pondering

Pitch black at night, total silent

The class was quiet, each faced his book
The only sound … the papers whispering
 Some talking in rhyme as if in a duet
As the pages were turned over and over again.
