The day is bright and blustery
in my little corner of the world
Colorful leaves frolic
uninhibited, so it seems
as they finally experience freedom
during their death-bed descent.
They are unafraid
for the lightness they possess
pairs well with the rush of the wind
allowing their inevitable journey
to last forever,
so it seems.
Sad are the leaves that fall on a still day!
For Ragtag Daily Prompt: Replenish – because Autumn replenishes our need for color, and prepares us for the long, stark winter ahead.

Such a lovely poem and those photos are AMAZING!! I wish we had a hint of color where I live. A few trees here and there but nothing like what you’ve shared. Thank you for sharing! ❤️🧡💚

I wasn’t sure we’d have much color this year since it’s been so dry – but it was better than I expected! Thanks for the sweet comment.
