Falling...

Autumn leaves in their passing
Fall gently to the ground
Theirs is not a loud, earth-shaking crash
But a back and forth trail, woven slowly through the air

In death they no longer feed the tree, but they feed our senses
A bright garment of red and yellow to feed the eyes
A rustling, crunching bed to gather and to romp in
An autumny fragrance to stir memories of our childhood

…like the leaves, I hope to fall gently
When my season ends


Like the leaves,
I hope to have fed my family tree
When my season ends

Like the leaves,
I hope to have brightened the lives of others
When my season ends

Like the leaves,
I hope to leave memories to gather and to romp in
When my season ends

...like the leaves, I hope to fall gently
When my season ends
