With October came the falls
Those leaves got their calls
To leave their mother tree
Fly away and be free

Hailing the seasons order
Turning a shade darker
They jumped in the air
With the utmost care

They kissed the scorched earth
Which once gave them birth
And now when they've rained
It embraced them all again

Those dried crumpled leaves
They were barely breathing
With humans running around
Death was close and sneaking

When it finally came
When they lost the life's game
It was a selfless act
Not done for some fame

They had made their way
So their mother could look green
Instead of an oldie
She could once again be a teen

Their love for the tree
Was the real unconditional one
Which was boasted by many
But mastered by only some

In this cruel selfish world
It was mastered by only some...
