Like a leaf
In the summer she soars.
She is bright,
Full of colour,
Full of life.
Like a leaf
A sudden gust of wind shakes her
She still remains strong
But her colours are fading
Yet she denys anything is wrong.
Until the autumn arrives
Like a leaf she slowly dies.
But the departure isn't quick.
First her colour changes
From the vividness to the dull.
Then she slowly detaches from the rest
And like a leaf
She surely falls.
She falls into the pile,
Where the leaves gone before her lie.
Passers that walk by
Admire the beauty of the leaves on the ground,
Although it is too late for them now.
And the trees seem bare until tomorrow,
As in the spring new leafs follow,
And like the old leaves, she fades into the past,
No more than a memory, A life that slipped away too fast.
