Falling leaves
Tears shed from a dying tree
With them fades the hopes
The dreams
The fantasies of yesterday
Like the birds who seek reprieve
In a warmer place
Where they cannot feel the cold
The hand of death
Which takes all to start anew
A clean slate with which to live again
Where dreams and hopes are apple blossoms
And happiness fills all things

Like the leaves I see my own dreams falling
Wilted and dying
Though their colors are still bright
The hopes I cling to
Harder and harder
Until they fall apart

Just as a frail, brittle leaf
Held within my closed fist
Breaks into pieces

And I cry

If you are lost in your way, deep in an awesome story.
Don't be in doubt and stray, clong to your lonesome folly.
