Trees full of beautiful leaves resting still,
thousands of leaves rest on the ground
undisturbed.
Once the wind trickles in
and tree branches begin to sway,
their leaves fall down,
twirl around,
until they rest on the ground in layers.
regret.
So many leaves lost from the tree,
yet it looks the same as before;
sadness.
The wind’s breeze starts again,
leaves start to detach;
fear.
The cycle continues
until the last leaf is blown off,
the colors that once made it stand out
lie on the ground
until they are pushed away
by the wind.
