Autumn
7/2021-8/2021
The leaves begin to change
As the Tree braces for the oncoming season
The air grows colder
And the sun grows dimmer
As Autumn comes our way
The leaves begin to fall
They fall all at once
Except for one little leaf
it clung to the branch with all its might
But alas,
Every leaf must fall
The Tree called out for the leaf
When no response came
The Tree realized it was alone
And it began to wonder
Was it the leaf that clung to the branch?
Or the branch that clung to the leaf?
The Tree is alone now
It had always been alone
The leaves were just a facade
In a never ending sea of change
The leaves never wanted or cared for the Tree
Yet the Tree needed them
Now the leaves are gone
And they are never coming back
The winds of change brush against the Tree
As Autumn comes our way
