Leaves

I see the many years

Of rain

Of wind

Of storm


A tree

Lush of green

Beginning to lose leaves

One followed by another


A sea

Of red, orange, yellow

And brown

Fall


Then winter

How the tree 

Looks so bitter, motionless

without its blanket

Of leaves


Spring 

The rain

How it brings back to life


Then the warmth

Of summer


Leaves on a tree told more of a story

Of her life

Than anyone could ever tell

I’ve seen her many years

Of rain

Of wind

Of storm


A graceful and gentle woman

A tree who lost its leaves

Her lifetime

I grieve

And her leaves

I shall forever keep
