leaves are falling
leaving summer behind
a secret leaflet
each leave
for those who can read
they tell about dreams
big and small
to become as tall as the tree
about laughter and tears
about all they have heard
leaves are falling
leaving songs in their brace
a leap of joy
each leave
for those who can feel
they dance with the air
swaying to music
embracing the rhythm of life
full of hope
for seasons to come
