leaves on the ground
fallen
once alive they were
trust me - I know,
bending trees
perched above us,
no one knows...
them... like I do...
brown, grey bark
were they born with
like those of us
who are different,
we spend time
wondering
from whence they
arrived...
shelter they provide
for some,
others present a threat,
we are known for generosity
like the bending trees are
known for shade
with their leaves now falling
like the rain
messing up the soil
for we live
underneath it all.
