One Leaf

by Gary R Priester   Feb 5, 2013


One leaf amoung many
High on a tree
Grows fast and strong
It's spring you see
Then summer arrives
Now green as can be
It gives shade to all
As it stengthens the tree
When fall creeps in
What a sight to see
Red and gold now
It still clings to the tree
The days grow short
The nights grow cold
It faids to brown
Where it once was bold
Now tired and old
It slowly lets go
As it floats to the ground
To become part of earth's soul

...Inspired by a beautiful fall day...
