Leaves

Leaves, small and still growing
remind us joyfully about spring

Leaves, big and mature,
approach the harvesting cure

Leaves dying in fall
paving the soil over and all

Leaves decaying in winter
close the cycle, put the splinter

Leaves and life
A picture, a strive,

Leaves and society
with their sheer variety

Leaves in the sea
picked up so nicely by thee.
