Amongst Life's Scatterings
The leaves fell
In an Autumn sky
In an Autumn dell
I could not see
For, such beauty
Overwhelmed me
Amongst life’s scatterings
A beautiful leaf lay
Crisp and pure
Set apart
Above, the sky azure
A leaf of Spring
A leaf of Summer
With all its’ richness
In shades of green
Now, in Autumn
its’ power lost
Not its’ life
The colour did bring
Beauty
Amongst the starkness
Of Winter darkness
