Falling Leaves
Autumn Cradles What Remains
The Earth cradles what life and time let go.
🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂
Crimson leaf drifting—
Silence floats across the air,
autumn's last leaf falls.
🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂
Branches sway in trees,
Whispers heard through falling boughs
Redness turns bright white.
🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂
Amber trails vanish,
Sinking into frosted earth,
Roots cradle souls gone.

It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

I love what you did here, Michelle.Very creative! ❤
This was very descriptive.
Well-wrought, with an especial nod to the idea of the crumbling leaf as a dissipating soul.
Vivid, moving work - that last one in particular really spoke to me. Genuinely beautiful poetry, Michelle!
Beautifully captures the quiet shift from autumn’s colours to winter’s embrace.
Three lovely haiku, and lI ove the image
Absolutely beautiful a gentle farewell from autumn to winter.
