As I stood
In the leaf-strewn wood
Listening to birdsong,
I heard the leaves
Falling from trees
And thought how short
Is our birdsong.
And the Autumn breeze
Scented with leaves
Spoke of the joy
Of temperate days.
Yes, everything must decay.
But autumn lawns
Are covered in acorns
And children play
As I once did
When I hid
Amidst these Autumn trees
And fallen leaves.
That is so beautiful. Kevin.
Thank you, Vivienne. I am delighted you like my poem
Very interesting. For it shows the recurring of the times without noticing the humans beeing.
Best wishes, Michael
