leaves – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Tenacious Leaves

Wind 
Pushing the rain 
Stripping trees 
Yet a few 
Tenacious leaves
Remain

these tenacious leaves
their grip strong through wind and rain
while the air grows cold

walking in the rain
hints of red catching my eye
songs within my mind

within the sunlight
the rain loosening is grip
a quiet moment

upwards through the leaves
lazy clouds oblivious 
air cooling my face

cold rain
through my shivering
droplets like diamonds

reddening leaves
a gentle autumn breeze
the motion of life

Here are a few photos, views from my daily walks this week.

Moving through the night

The silence surrounding me

And leaves under foot

this fading sunlight
breeze stirring the fallen leaves
memories drift past

a new day begins
underneath my feet I hear
freshly fallen leaves
