Autumn Leaves

The Earth cradles what life and time let go.

🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂

Crimson leaf drifting—

Silence floats across the air,

autumn’s last leaf falls.

🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂

Branches sway in trees,

Whispers heard through falling boughs

Redness turns bright white.

🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂

Amber trails vanish,

Sinking into frosted earth,

Roots cradle souls gone.
