 All day it rained all day the strong wind blew tonight....looking down from my window to gauge the damage I see in the moonlight blood spilled a battlefield of the fallen where shining and wet on the dark ground crimson maple leaves lie. |

Well, my dear, I have never thought of the fallen red maple leaves lying on the ground as a bloody battlefield! ~ But I will from now on! lol A vividly descriptive and creative write. Warm, healing hugs (I hope you are feeling better), Linda |

Tinker this is beautiful. It's a battle the leaves are destined to lose. But they will be back to fight another season. believe in what your heart feels... |

Life takes many forms. Over time those leaves laying on the forest floor will decay. Providing a warm, damp, and nutritcious home for a host of earth worms and bugs of every sort. The bugs also over time live and die contributing to the enrichment of the soil surronding the tree. The rains carries the time processed nutrients deep into the earth where they are absorbed by the roots of the tree. Thus they contribute their bodies (fullfilling their destiny) to another generation of leaves, completing the cycle of life. I wonder did they ever die or did life just take another form? Great Poem Enchantress makes you think. :-) |

Like EA, I don't think of fallen leaves as victims of a battlefield, but now I will. I have my own battle, with a rake! Hugs Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |
