Leaves Falling

Leaves falling
Leaving all the ground
Covered 
With
A quiet sound. 

Breezes
Stirring leaves 
Here and there 
Falling from branches 
Now left bare. 

Thru the winter
All quietens down 
Passing storms bring
The only sound 
Of
Branches cracking 
Blowing down. 

In the spring
Life will come 
Bright and warm
On
Into summer’s sun.

Til
Full circle in the fall
Once again
We’ll see
Leaves fall.

Leaves Falling

Leaves falling
Cascading down
Onto dying, cold
Hard ground.

Life begins
Lives
Then passes away.

That is how life lives
From the beginning
Now
And in all
The coming days.
