🍂on the ground

a leaf on the ground
more leaves on the ground

they had lost touch
with what kept them from falling

it's kind of sad
how their plural makes them leave

saying goodbye was the hardest
but it was necessary

they left as they knew
this was part of life

but now they were leaning
towards unknown
to the cold ground

and somehow they still manage
to make their place

they still manage to leave marks
on the layer of snow

this may not be what they were made for
but yet again they manage to fit
in just the way they are.
