Leaf
flutters
swirling colours
to the soft, forest floor.
Wind turns it
momentarily
to face the stalk
from which it broke,
then gently scurries it
to the crispy carpet
of leafy brothers
amongst which
it commences browning
in melancholy relief.

Far as I'm concerned, you just can't beat  a good tree and leaf scenario. This is no exception! Thank you! ~L
