LEAVES FALLING
-NYLAZZIR-
8-12-2012
Leaves falling from the old acacia tree
As it swayed harmoniously
To the warm gust of wind blowing
One sunny afternoon
I sit on the concrete bench
‘Round that so-familiar plant box
It unfolds the unruly rush
Of bittersweet high-school memories.
The love that I had
That warmed my lonely heart
The serenity in there I felt
That made me smile inside
The rustling sound of the leaves
Dancing in slow harmony
Reminds me of the old song
No lyrics yet attunes.
Many a year has came and went
Most memories it did take
Everything that I hold dear
Slowly slipping from my grip
Another day, years from now
Would I still be able to sit here?
And write about the pristine beauty
Of the place I once called home?
