They are like tiny glimpses of
life

They grow
From tiny little green drops of life to
fully-living miracles

They hang there
Through the seasons

They
change color
They
blow in
the wind

And struggle to live on
Like small glimpses of eternity

They hold on
But in the end
They fall

These evolved little parts of the world

Fall
