The Autumn Leaves

Like autumn leaves fall,
Fell off all the reasons
That could hold us together
Off they fell from the 'love'ly tree

"Baby, this is it."
Confessed the leaves
Before leaving the hands
Of the branches, they love

Yet, the lonely branches
Shout out into the blue
That they were abandoned for a purpose
There's a reason for the separation

This, however, wasn't easy for the leaves
It wasn't freedom to them
It meant struggling in the wind
falling and being crushed

But how could they risk
Risk to hurt the branches
so they fell ignoring the pain the branches would suffer
after they pluck themselves off

But lonely branches shout again
They say that soon the skies will cry
For the leaves that have parted
And the hands that left

"And after the rain"
Say the branches boldly
"Spring will bow
will spread its glimmering fragrance"

"  and when the magical glitter
Would touch us," they say
"  all the leaves will revive"
Yet it cant be denied that they say this into the blue.
