Children of Trees

 

with song of breeze

their descent full of grace

like tears from the mother

as her leaves slowly pass

dressed up for their wake

in colors brightest melody

to celebrate their flamboyant death

branches bare in lonely reflection

will tremble their loss in winters breath

as the children of the trees

ride on autumn's farewell wind

and in their rustling dance

whisper their funeral dirge

And thus a new life

And thus a new life begins! 

Beautiful, soulful and eloquent. 

I felt the whole season I was right there through every emotion 

Oddly captivated by the contacting shades of light and dark joyful yet sombre I had to insert hope for a happy ending. An accomplished piece! Blsssingss 

 


Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS
