I watch leaves <br />Falling to ground, different colors <br />Rainbow on ground, <br /> <br />I watch leaves falling <br />To ground, birds stop singing, only <br />Pattering music of leaves, <br /> <br />I watch purple leaves <br />Falling and turning silvery <br />In moonlight, <br /> <br />I watch leaves falling, like <br />Life’s fading leaves, my youth blown away <br />With autumn breath, <br /> <br />I watch leaves falling, summer <br />Green changing to autumn’s golden sheen <br />Hastening decay in nature’s beauty, <br /> <br />I watch leaves falling, a leafless <br />Tree reminding life’s gloomy days, friendless, <br />Cheerless and dim old age, <br /> <br />I watch leaves falling <br />To ground, turning my heart of love <br />Lonely and green leaves browned, <br /> <br />I watch leaves falling, baring <br />My heart cold and dry, till spring winds sigh <br />As young hopes live and old die, <br /> <br />I watch leaves falling, with <br />Drooping flowers racing toward stream, perhaps <br />To a downy nest for ultimate rest, <br /> <br />Oh leaves, stop falling day and night <br />Hoping next day dawn serenely bright, usher in <br />A glorious day that will carry gloom away.......<br /><br />DEEPAK KUMAR PATTANAYAK<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/autumn-10-short-poems/
