Autumn Leaves

Leaves fall like golden snow

upon a lush green ground

With every breeze, a circumstance 

of quiet rustling sound

Each fiery leaf a traveler 

of seasons now in flight 

rhyming,dancing,turning

pirouettes of sprite 

What looses you your amber stem from
so nourishing a host?

Does stalwart branch condemn your fate 

when beauty's at its most?

Now as browning blanket,

nestled close to earth

you fill once more her coffers

as life renews its birth
