FallA Poem by Natalie BeckThe transition from fall to winterReleased
into the ever changing breeze I
tumble down, mixing in with the rest Leaving
the home that shall once again freeze Forced
to move, without request Looking
up at home, we have landed in a heap Compressed
into the ground with sodden feet This
is where we stay, this is where they reap Our
remains as we become obsolete Broken
beyond repair, our fragments scatter The
pathways that once was free and clear The
whiteness is coming, we no longer matter Until
we grow again at the start of next year. The
dampness allows us to latch onto your stride But
you scrape us away before heading inside We
were once green, but now that has been denied Through
the coldness we are exposed to outside. © 2013 Natalie Beck |
