Golden leaves fall gently to the floor
A hush falls through the once busy path
Few walked by this weather beaten trail today
Even less stop to admire the last traces of beauty
Before winter cruelly snatches away the brilliant colors
Replacing it with plain, dull white
A young couple lay together under a nearly bare tree
Wind shuffles the leaves a bit
The trees are sad to see them go
A loud screech frightens the leaves
The last leaf leaves its home
The young couples in love are torn apart
Icy tears gently fall down the girls face
An angry glare on the boy
Matches the one on the girl’s mother
The coldness of winter takes over the park
Just as much as it does the young couple's heart

The trees are sad to see them go -
That's sad. I recieved the message of a broken heart beneath all the beauty. Things are not what they seem at times. What appears cheerful to one, may be despair for another

Oh such depth and meaning I love the way you spin your poetry it teaches so much of the suroundings about us and how we should all breath in the beauty within all the seasons for they are Gods paint brush in action and no two days are ever alike
