Reach out to the leaves
As they fall from the trees
All at once the wind makes them run
They fly off alone
Each on their own
To wherever the breeze sends them
Now free to roam
Away from their home
Declaring their own independence
enjoyable read, Brian. something quite refreshing here in straightforward symbolism. good meter. -Tailor

Brian, this is very visual. I liked it. It portrayed autumn very well. I also got the feeling that you wished you were one of those leaves being carried away to somewhere else by the wind. Great write. Thanks for sharing it. David
Just a trace perhaps of a wistful wish that you could follow in this lovely depiction of autumn, and a matching state of mind. jim

I love the simplicity of this poem, the images you have created and the strength it conveys in the last line. This poem made me long for Autumn - my favourite time of the year. Justine
