Aged, dried,
Unable to cling on
Discarded leaves
Their life gone
They had been green too
Once upon a time
Providing others shade
And the tree some food
Yellowing and useless
They fall in the light breeze
To be crushed under
Hurriedly walking feet
Raked up and bundled
Shoved to a corner
To be burnt brutally
And then forgotten forever
But the ones that escape
Have a purpose to fulfill
Making the dry ground
Like soft bedding.
