The Fall
Reds, yellows, oranges & browns...
...in their season
...all fall to the ground
Shook free from the only home they've ever know by the chilled winds of the world
...they drop...to their demise
...shhhh! Listen...
You could almost hear their distant cries...
Almost poetic
The motion
Some...a gentle descent...
...as if they had prepared for what would eventually take place
Others though...go with less grace
Frantically swaying ...spinning & tumbling
...as if they are grasping for some unseen outstretched hand
...but...
In the end...
Reds, yellows, oranges & browns...
...in their season
...all fall to the ground.
