The Leaves Of Autumn

poem by: Dan Miltz
Written on Dec 29, 2016

I sit beneath my window gawking   
To the sight of leaves twisting and falling
Dumped, crisp, and on the grass
Gathering together and accumulating a·mass
 
I hear the sound of the autumn breeze
Sudden countless number of leaves
In my yard, I long to know
The brown, the green, orange, red afterglow
 
Intermingling with beautiful ray of sunshine 
Peeking through the peephole of its treeline 
As a cracking wind cuts through the silence 
While multiple leaves drift in speedy compliance
 
Through all the day, a gentle glow
Tween a windy, powerful flow
Winsome leaves, outside my window 
And, one by one, they all let go 
 
Their branches in the wind, overlap
I can't see, but I hear the stems snap
Over and over the meadow lawn
They drop with a silent slap and be·gone
 
Soggy and wet, disappearing before me 
Naked branches in a cold wind I see
Falling to the earth, one by one
The amazing swirl of the last leaf hung
