Seasons Change, People Change
Sprouting from its limb as a beautiful green leaf, filled with life
The sunlight makes a silhouette of its desolate shape
Every leaf unique in size, structure, and pigmentation
But similar in character, in that it's just a solitary leaf
The gusts of the wind-what majestic forces they are-tug on the leaves
Utterly uprooting some from the branch to be carried along for the obscure courses of the wind
Changing direction, alternating the speed of the leaf simultaneously as it descends to the ground
Withering away at its core
Evolving it from its primary state
It falls to the ground...unrecognizable as the brown languished leaf
Remaining on the ground, disintegrating.
