Rustle Of Leaves
A leaf
Drifting listlessly
Lands amongst
Countless others that have fallen
Branches above spreading tall in
Chaotic splendor
Shivering in a stiffening breeze
Winter has come calling
Graceful surrender
Subject to the seasons
The rustle before the freeze
Sap slowly hardens
Uncaring of the reason
Old man winter asks no pardon
The divide
Between life death
Carried on Arctic breath
Drifting further from the sun
Perpetual cycles
Predetermined spirals
Life
Fighting for survival
This universal recital
Unfurling before our eyes
The old oak standing tall and wise
Stolid witness
Whispers of life in the stillness
An echo of the March
Time playing it’s part
Everything has an end
Every leaf has a start
Rustling of leaves
One upon the other
Flutter and shudder
Purpose served
Faded vitality
A melody
Of reality
