Autumn and Its Falling Leaves Part I

I like the season of autumn
And love to watch the falling of leaves
Listening the music of Nature
While walking and moving amid the bunch of trees
When the breeze blows creating music
While moving from trees to trees 
In Autumn, when trees are shedding leaves 
I love to watch the falling of leaves

It’s splendid beyond words to write 
When leaves are falling from trees in autumn
A beauty to see and a joy to feel in our heart 
When thousands of leaves fly in the air and depart 
Before they embrace their friends on ground
In Autumn, when trees are shedding leaves 
I love to watch the falling of leaves

In the much awaited season of autumn 
When breeze touch us and embraces the trees 
And the setting sun spreads its beaming rays
On flowers, trees and on leaves departing from trees
It appears as if the sky is showering
Its precious treasures on Nature and mankind 
In Autumn, when trees are shedding leaves 
I love to watch the falling of leaves

Some of them fall on me as if to greet 
While some to tell their story in brief 
They seems to murmur while in the air 
And while falling on the heap of leaves 
Those which were singing, dancing and enjoying 
While flying in the air, resting on ground or lying   
Had a cool smile and were singing their love song last
They lived a life full of hopes and loved everyone till last  
In Autumn, when trees are shedding leaves 
I love to watch the falling of leaves

They kept their promises made to God
Of loving their fellow folks till their last
They were singing, dancing on nature’s thrill 
While on trees, they happily inhaled shining rays
And enjoyed Moon’s nectar till it became pale
This was the story they were trying to convey
To each passerby who had time to stay
To listen the story of leaves without a say
In Autumn, when trees are shedding leaves 
I love to watch the falling of leaves.
