# # Brown Leaves Poem by Sonya Florentino
# # Brown Leaves
They still are leaves
They are brown leaves
Still hanging from a tree
When they fall down
They still are leaves
Brown leaves on the ground
And when they're gone
Lost to the wind
When they become
weightless and transparent...
They still are leaves
That once were all colors

Notes: inspired by a stanza in the poem 'October Sky' by Sierra Scribler where the writer wrote how autumn leaves are like 'paper skeletons waiting to fall to the ground'
for me, the 'brown leaves' represent so many things... please share this one to as many as you can... thanks!

In your brown leaves, one can hear the whisper of eternity. Excellent, Sonya. Always your friend, Sandra
