The leaves fall down

Thsi came to me once when i was passing from under a tree and some leaves fell on me

The leaves that are dried up

Rustle and face

The ever blowing wind

And sooner or later

Give up and

Fall down.

The green leaves

The ones that are

Fresh and anew

Live and strong

Feel jealous of

The flowers that

Welcome thy beloved

And they too

Praise her

By falling down.

Leaves are

After all leaves

And leaves fall down.

Stunning profundity in these words! I thoroughly enjoyed this...and yes, the ending line was exquisite! :)

Exactly. You had me all the way through and then came those last words and I knew the wisdom of them, "Leaves are / After all leaves / And leaves fall down." I love this!

[Dezaraye]

This is awesome. I love the last three lines. "Leaves are after all leaves and leaves fall down." Awesome job!

this one is beautifully written. How we are jealous of those younger than us - I love the way you personified nature as 'she' - awesome work and I look forward to reading more
