Hues of brown, yellow, and orange
falling to the ground
one life after another
swayed by the wind
but never resisting
Bare branches that once sang
with the rising of the sun
now hung motionless
without a word
without a single breath
The life that once danced
as water fell from above
now gone with the wind
lost with the passing of time
Slowly decaying
returning to the earth
where it all began
