The leaves begin to fall

Right to the cold earth

The wind howling

I lie awake at night

Thinking of a better time

 

The leaves

 lie on the ground

The wind no longer disturbing

The cold is almost unbearable

I stand there thinking

 

The wind blows uncontrollably

The cold is not so bad

The leaves stay piled around my feet

My thoughts lie there

I am still thinking

 

I lie near the ground

The leaves provide a cushion

The wind whips around me

Leaving a cold chill to run down my spine

 Am I left thinking alone again

 

I am no longer cold

I am no longer thinking

The leaves no longer

Lie there

The wind no longer blows
