fading leaves cling to branches
as they start to fall

My response to Carpe Diem’s Autumn Retreat 2018 Love Eternally

  2. the last of the last? it’s funny, how we make associations – I hear “cherry tree” (or Prunus) and automatically my mind bursts to Spring, and the blossoms etc. and yet, the fall leaves, although not as brightly coloured as other shrubs and trees, are still interesting for their “splotches and markings” — perhaps the tears shed before the dormancy … 🙂
