Poetry Posted by sylvia on Thursday, January 29, 2004 (15:39:06)

By Brian Henson



For the fallen few

Forget the flight

That brought them to the ground;

They feel no breeze,

Except the drift

That moves them all around.



They've done their task

With sun and air,

And as the air cools down,

They're laid to rest

On the forest floor,

Like a golden carpet gown.



But the wind's still there,

And whips them up

Far 'way from where they fell;

They've got a tale

Of movin' about--

A legend ripe to tell.



But they are raked

And packed in bags

By many folks who see

These leaves as blights

Againt their sights

Beneath the barren tree.



Some just manage

To hide near fence

Or bush or other cove,

Alone to bear

The winter out,

Against the forest grove.



And when the spring

Returns with growth,

These tiny leaves do serve

As nutrients

For all nearby;

A blessing--to preserve!
