Autumn Leaves

Autumn Leaves Falling...

Like the tears from my eyes.

Swirling through the air...

Falling to the ground.

Golden like the sunshine.

That's been hiding from me.

Orange like the Sunset.

That brings the night to set me free.

Crimson red with burnt edges.

Like the colors of my heart.

Yellow-Green partly turning.

All were Green from the start.

Leaving the branches all alone.

To suffer through the Winter winds.

With no love or shield or cover.

Like a love coming to an end.

Waiting patiently for Spring.

So they can feel the brand new sprouts.

Easing out so soft and gentle.

To remind them what love is about.

So don't cry trees, you're not alone.

Your leaves will come to you again.

If you can stand strong long enough.

To make it through the Winter winds.

Everything must change!
