Photo Fridays: Autumn Leaves

Autumn is a special time in the year and it is so fleeting. The leaves are just beautiful—I want to suspend the moment.

Leaves

By Elsie Brady

How silently they tumble down

And come to rest upon the ground

To lay a carpet, rich and rare,

Beneath the trees without a care,

Content to sleep, their work well done,

Colors gleaming in the sun.

At other times, they wildly fly

Until the nearly reach the sky.

Twisting, turning through the air

Till all the trees stand stark and bare.

Exhausted, drop to earth below

To wait, like children, for the snow.
