My leaves of Autumn

Two leaves

falling slowly

in time

seems like an eternity

for the leaves wishing to fall forever not realizing the ground beneath them

or the other leaves around them

gently and slowly circling

as cool and warm breezes pull them apart

to other leaves

other trees

falling

moving around

in empty space and time

a colorful rainbow of emotions

yellow, orange and brown

changing

ever changing

with time

falling

slowly falling

the leaves of autumn

Cloudy skies

Dark pillow of gloom

produce raindrops

painful, joyful  raindrops

piercing hearts

and weighing them down

helping the leaves fall faster

faster towards the ground

and the leaves experienced eyes see

see the space is not forever

that emotions and time

are not forever

that this falling

slowly falling

will not last forever

the ground is near

and it seems like the leaves have been here a long time

old and worn by the wind

falling

slowly falling

blackened by time

moist from the raindrops

now soiled from the ground

never to fall again

Rebirths the carcasses

of the fallen leaves

spawns newly fallen leaves

and more trees

but, never again

shall the two leaves or the group of leaves

fall again

by the same tree

be carried by the same breeze

or share raindrops

forever

falling

slowly

gently

My leaves of Autumn

nevermore
