AN AUTUMN LEAF WITH ATTITUDE 2
This season is done, but
I’ll leave in a blaze.
I’ve changed already.
I’m a chameleon of earth colours
fluttering at the tip of my branch.
I was a note in the symphony.
You listened to me rise and fall
with the breeze.
Watched me move,
vibrant,
in the dappled light.
I watch my cousins
sail the burn
to some far away bank.
I smell their bodies
feeding the earth.
When the time is right
I’ll join the fall,
become part of the ensemble.
We will fly on the wind,
cover you like a storm
and feel children play
amazed by our bounty.
