Leaves in Autumn

At one point each year, the trees catch fire.

The leaves all

changing, changing, changing.

Changing from green, to yellow, to orange, to red, to brown.

Leaves changing in Autumn.

.

The wind blows hard, and the leaves fall.

They twist and turn, one at a time,

down, down, down.

Down to the ground until the trees are bare and cold.

Leaves fall down in Autumn.

.

In that cold wind, the leaves spin.

They twirl in circles,

dancing, dancing, dancing.

Dancing and running and chasing down streets.

Leaves dancing in Autumn.

.

A family rakes the leaves in a pile.

Jumping in it, making

memories, memories, memories.

Memories form from laughter and fun.

Leaves make memories in Autumn.

.

Temperatures drop, it gets colder each day.

Frost on the grass and breaths are seen, Autumn is

leaving, leaving, leaving.

Leaving with its leaves to make room for frozen Winter.

Leaves leaving in Autumn.

.

The leaves are gone and winter is here.

But next year, at the same time, they will

return, return, return.

Return next Autumn, in their full beauty once again.

Leaves will return in Autumn.
