LEAVES AND LIVES

From the tree, the leaves lose hold and fall,

Their wrinkled faded fabric, once glorious green then gold,

Evoking human lives meeting their own approaching winter,

Coming to their rest as the world turns cold;

Making way for those that wait their turn,

And like the leaves: they're beneath the foot or they burn.

Tony - thanks for the companionable comments. There's something about autumn - the end heralding a new beginning - that strikes a chord deep within us.
