Falling Leaves

 

Falling Leaves

Its easy to fall, so freely in the air.

Swaying and letting the wind guide.

These leaves just have to flow.

And is it so certain,

Where the wind might take?

This, the falling leaves

May never know.

Its a struggle, the detaching, from the tree.

Here and there, the wind tries hard.

And finally 

A leaf is set afloat.

Leaving behind the soft bird song.

Upon the branch it bore

No longer does a soft bird sing.

The branch is now bare.

 And what when they hit the ground?

Their floating dance shall end here.
