Trigger Warning

Borrowed time is up
Coat of winter on
Last dregs of life gone
From tree I abandon
I release you leaf
With falling memories
Of spring birth
And soothing sunshine
On ground you die
All around is dirt
Death on the floor
Of Mother Nature
The released leaf
Decomposing
Like reincarnation
Crumpled to dirt
Down deep dark soil
In snow no grow
In ground frozen till
Spring again awakens
Rebirth of you –
Released leaf
