Leaves tumble softly from lofty trees
Tracing whispers through the autumn air
Each descent a graceful surrender
A quiet acceptance beyond compare
They pave the ground in a golden hue
A fleeting carpet for wandering feet
Each step upon their fragile forms
Holds the echoes of a life complete
The wind carries them to unknown lands
Where roots will cradle their final rest
Through every fall a seed is born
A cycle renewed a silent bequest
Walk this path where seasons meet
Where endings bloom into new begins
For every leaf that falls to earth
Another journey silently spins
