Leaves

Leaves

By Dahvik Sehva

Leaves fall from the tree of life
It’s forced descent brought by the east wind


The sound of crackled leaves
Are screams from this tragedy


The chills the east wind brings
The chills the east wind brings


Harsh winds blow through the trees
The symphony it creates
Are just pleas from the leaves


Please not me
Please not me


Stillness and silence now ensue
Fear and desperation now consumes


The chills the east wind brings
The chills the east wind brings


Hope regained, has life spared me?
But now the slow descent begins
The east wind got me
