I am an autumn leaf
Soaring through the air
I am free as a bird
Without a worry or a care
Then suddenly one day
Without a warning in sight
I am forced to the ground
Like lightning to a kite
Suddenly I’m broken
Lying in pieces on the ground
I’m ripped and torn to shreds
And there’s no one around
I lie there for hours
Hoping someone will appear
But when they do
They confirm my fear
Instead of picking me up,
And taking me somewhere sound
They kick me into the gutter
And leave me to rot on the ground
I am an autumn leaf
Left to rot and die
Forgotten by the world
As I wonder, why?

Oh this is BEAUTIFULL, I enjoyed your potrayal of AUTUM, it is so pretty but sad.... The flow is ever so soft and tender till the end.... Bonnie Collins
