The Cycle

from green they turn into beautiful yellow and red
and as the weather turns colder day by day
they become more vulnerable
barely hanging on

then come the moment
moment for them to let go
they drop gracefully to the ground
dancing along with the wind
they vanish into mother nature

................................
*silence*
..........................................

finally
the feel of warmth sipping through
after days and days of silence and cold
out come the little ones
so fresh and soft and green
popping their little heads towards the warm sun
embracing life as they grow

...and the cycle goes on
over and over again
the cycle of life
