The Hidden Things
January 27, 2018
A cold crisp fall
The leaves brush by
Orange and yellow
Red and brown
All mixing together with others
Forming a whirl of shapes and colors
Spinning on
And on
Caught in the draft
In the corner of a building
Leaves try to run
A cold wind blows them back
Red and orange bricks
Smashing leaves
Ripping, Tearing
The wind relentlessly pummelling
Then...
Stillness, Silence
The leaves float down
Torn, Broken
To form, once again
A beautiful pile of colors
Orange and yellow
Red and brown
Showing no sign of wear
