Last leaves

They skitter on branch’s tip
Sashaying to the breeze.
In tune with Autumn’s chords
They dance, if ever you please.

With nature’s cyclic chorus
Phrasing their harmonies
An elegant pas de deux
Is what the eye sees.

In supple gymnastic grace
That offers reveries
They fling to the sky above
Like a heart stealer flees

The seasons last leaves drop
Schussing with bent knees
As life in passing shows us
The subtlety of trees

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

those last leaves always tug at my heartstrings, too,,,,,,,,,do they feel the
loss of the mother tree as much as the tree
feels theirs

All of us write in many ways
And worship at the altar of praise
I give you thanks with humble note
for your kindness on the words I wrote
