Leaf Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Leaf

In the whispering stillness of time,
I stood, a witness with open eyes.

Majestic is nature's artistry,
Beauty was born from life's last breath.

Abandoned my car for a fleeting moment,
To explore the secrets of the Earth.

Astonishment gripped my soul,
As I returned to my mechanical steed.

Nature, the masterful painter,
Magically had adorned her.

With the canvas of leaves,
Splashed hues, harmonious.

Greens, browns, fiery reds,
The dead leaves had embraced.

They whispered many tales,
In unique forms, and in detail.

What I left, suspended,
With the leaves was dressed.
