Leaf Life

life had much promise
for you two seasons ago,
green budding leafling.

  
spring urged you forward
out of yearning innocence
a mere suggestion.

hot summer hinted
eternity can be yours
live forever leaf!

alas, autumn came
transforming green to orange
with one final stroke.

  
rest peacefully now
released from your life’s struggle
to crunch underfoot.
