The Dance of the Leaves
A rustle, a flutter,
it’s autumn’s ballet,
leaves twirl and sway
while the wind leads the way.
A stage made of branches,
pine needles and bark,
a seasonal spectacle
in nature’s own park.
Each leaf is a dancer,
a moment to cherish,
in the waltz of the forest,
a beauty to relish.

• Carl Robert Jakobson
