As the sun took a step back
autumn was awakened
leaves broken from the trees
realised their lives were taken
along with the breeze
they twisted and tumbled
at times falling apart
other times rustling against each other
descended from the trees
they quietly float down
slowly making a carpet so rich
with a crackling sound
together they sometimes fly with the wind
from the ground up in the air
higher untill they nearly reach the sky
travelling places unknown and rare
exhausted they lay relaxed
all in red golden and brown
content enough to sleep
silently on the ground
now the raindrops tap each leaf
applauding the secret love
like the keys on a piano
playing music soft as dove
as the sun took a step back
leaves lulled themselves to sleep
turned to colours so bright as flowers
making it a second spring.
Thank you for reading!!!
Live. Laugh. Love
