Vitality of a Leaf

answer to leaf challenge

In the wind they fly without destination,

Dancing with a spirit so free and simplistic.

Resting on grasslands and cobblestone paths,

Piling like hilltops of kaleidoscopic shades.

Beaming tones of auburn, glistening with gold,

They showcase a rainbow of colors so pure.

Their texture spreads music beneath wandering feet,

Crunching with a pulse to the drumming of a snare.

These beauties of nature, so careless to troubles,

Falling from trees with new journeys each moment.

For a change we actually had an extended autumn here, warm days, trees all golden, the leaves stayed on longer than we usually get to enjoy. This reminded me of that. We are paying for it now with winter settled in for the long haul, I fear.

thank you for reading. Winter cam early here, and I'm afraid it's going to stay even longer than it did last year!

One of my favorite things about autumn is the bright colors of the leaves on the ground, it show that there is beauty in death… you creative use of words painted a lovely picture in my mind.
