The Fall


The Fall

The once vibrant with life
The once green, open full to catch the sun
The once high, holding up the sky

Now a golden bronze of slumbering death
The tips are curled as if burned

The wind stirs the branches high
The once secured looses hold

A dance of spins and twirls begin
A quick spin slowed to a float
Lift and fall, rock right then left,

Until the fallen comes to rest
lie prone in death, among the rest

Once protector from the sun
Now a blanket for the ground

Even in your death you shelter life
