As a leaf on a tree
It’s bright vibrant green
Soaking up the sun
Full of health and vitality
It witnesses many days
The drip of the soft rain
That caresses its surface
Providing a refreshing cascade
The iridescent glow
Of droplets backlit with the sun
The season begins to change
The night becomes longer
No longer the brilliant green
It is now cloaked
In a coat of many colors
Brilliant orange and yellow
Drifting softly towards the ground
The wind catches and carries
Its precious load to the water
The swift running creek below
Caught by the breeze
The leaf falls
Back and forth it dances
With an unseen partner
Until it gently settles
On the surface of the waters
