Autumn

The wind kicked up dry orphaned leaves,
A barely audible rustle in the quiet,
Stripped of youth, of composure,
A hateful autumn showed no mercy,
The once supple, soothing green,
No longer clinging to the stolid trees,
The leaves that lent brightness to the landscape, softened d impassive Oak,
Withered to a limp brown…left homeless to rot alone.
