I have been watching the leaves on that big old tree outside my window,
for a very long time.
It seems as though it was not very long ago-
that they were tiny little buds. And then one day they were pink blossoms,
and then the blossoms grew into leaves.
The color of the leaves was one of my most favorite greens!Soon the seasons changed, and another season came- it was fall. The beautiful greens all changed to golden yellows and oranges,, ohhhh,, change was coming again!
the leaves started to fall..
I began to wonder what it would be like if perhaps the leaves would stay forever on the branches and spread out like a thick blanket and protect the tree from the cold winter.
Maybe it just might happen this year.!
Could it? The leaves began to fall . Everyday more leaves would fall. I could hear them,, maybe they laughing. Everyday I would try to count how many more leaves were still hanging from the branches. But there were still too many leaves to count.
too many,
Some leaves hid behind other leaves...
and some peeked out.
Last night the moon was full and jack frost visited,
His lips kissed every leaf.
Yes every leaf.
with the golden leaves.
The leaves were falling like snow flakes..!
Very gently.. and softly.
I watched them...
I pretended that I was one of those golden leaves..
and I thought about what it would be like to be. ....ready to fall,,,
but yet still trying to hang on tight and not fall., not tumble and not let go.
I must have been day dreaming ,
when all of a sudden i noticed there were
only two golden leaves left........
Suddenly they let go of the branch...
holding onto each other....
they flitted and twirled as they floated to the ground,,,
together.. they tumbled together
just as it should be. |
