Until Spring

Neville

Until Spring

 

How I wonder

Each and every

Year  

How many

Leaves

Might shed a

Tear   

As they

Tumble and

Fall to the

Ground  

 

Each one of

Their dances

Unique  

A golden

Explosion

A seasonal

Masterpiece

Of sight

Without Sound  

 

No doubt

About it

The very

Prettiest cloud

And

Something

Surely  

To consider

Out loud

 

The briefest of

Wind blown

Murmerations  

Individual heroes

Versus flocks

Of willing sheep

Those 

That take a dive

And those who

For love do leap

  • dusk arising

    Your words today make me mindful of the current state of our trees. In my garden i planted a tulip tree 16 years ago. It hasn't shown a blossom yet which is a disappointment but its a lovely thing. Sad to see it's skeletal form as it survives winter. Hard to believe this same beauty is so full of life in spring through summer and has an outstanding display each autumn.

    I'm somewhat of an individual soul and like to think that as life's wind blows me around and gradually wrecks my once fine foliage, I do occasionally do a leap for the sake of love. A love of this life.

      Thanking you sir and monumentally so... I do know precisely what you mean.... oh' and for what it is worth... my favourite tree of all time is a giant of a tulip tree in Delapre Abbey Northants.... Neville

      The fall of leaves could never be given more appeal with better imagery than in this your tribute to their gentle departure - clouds of fluttering bring colour to ground and I was so intrigued by your final personified lines Nev - - so aptly describing

      "Those that take a dive

      And those who

      For love do leap".......... great read.

              I think that leaves are the reason they call it "Fall".and maybe why we "fall" in love. I loved this description of dancing leaves brought to life in their annual "leap." Those colorful :clouds" that we tenderly rake into bags or barrels. Some may be followers and others die gloriously in the name of love. Very human-like. A great read/poem. - Phil A.
