Cold and dormant, waiting for warmth
Longing for the days of spring
A sprout is forming, starting to grow
The beginning days of a leaf
Soaking in the sun, blowing in the wind
Covering the ground with shade
Filling the tree with wonderful color
Turning in the autumn breeze
The light is fading the air turning cold
Drying up and turning brown
Falling floating hitting the ground
The end of once new growth

[Copy of poem removed by mod to save resources]

You're quite inconsistent with your poetry. Because the first couple lines you separate the clauses with commas, in the lines such as:

"The light is fading the air turning cold"

you should place a comma after the word "fading".

Also, as this is a cycle of life poem, I would use more similar imagery at the end and at the beginning.
