Life is too short to be anyone but yourself.


The leaves crackle under each step

lighting the path with noise
The breeze comes to pick some up
sweeping them away,
Goodbye

The leaves make raking endless,
always appearing everywhere,
Making fall continuous
A trash bag holds them for now
Goodbye

The leaves flutter,
falling gracefully down from trees
making the ground red, orange, yellow
They are hidden under people’s feet,
crunch, crunch, crunching
Goodbye

The leaves stay,
protecting a bare tree,
from the cold winter weather,
a blanket of snow covers them,
Goodbye

The leaves are blowing,
traveling on the summer breeze,
They’ll be back next year,
When it’s fall again
Goodbye
