Leaves have begun to fall You notice them one by one Effortlessly they fly all around Downward they bound In a fanciful fun It seems Autumn has begun They glide with such Splendor Majesty and Grace Making their way to the ground Never making a sound To find a new resting place Their new home they embrace Without hands Gliding along their way On sightless wings they go Back and forth they blow Letting the world know Making descent as they play Fall is well underway The only sound they make Wind Rustling their stems They fly through the air Without whimper or care Glistening like shiny gems Enjoying their new freedoms Scattered on the ground Many colors as can be A final resting place Having finished their race They lay at rest finally free From the tall noble of a tree The tree now stands empty Casting leafless Shadows about Now resting over the ground They no longer give sound Where once they gave shout The leaves will be missed no doubt Once tree and leaves were in league Now nothing do they share Where leaves once flew violent The tree now stands silent Back to sleep for another year A new season comes with cheer .
