Falling Leaves

WordPress Daily Prompt – Leaf

Red sunshine reflects gently off the leaves

That fall from the trees jerking in the growing winds

Of the approaching storms that follow my steps.

I want to tell you to run, there’s no sanctuary here,

But you’re pointing at the swirling branches in awe of nature;

Without realizing she’s coming, fierce and with a cause.

Those leaves will never hit the ground before the storm

Knocks you down; tackling all your noble features.

She’ll reduce you, like she decimated me.

A person of many words and little meaning

Is all that will emerge.
