MOVE ME POETRY — A POETRY COMMUNITY LIKE NO OTHER

Clinging Fast

…to empty trees

The leaves are falling
seasons turn relentlessly

carried on the wind
green into red then crumbling

time has no master
buried in winter snowdrifts

returned to the stream
sometimes lingering too long

left shivering alone
clinging fast to empty trees

stark against the sky
my heart aches at such beauty
and still the leaves are falling
