Leaves In The Wind

• Elizabeth Peabody, Grade 7

Dancing like children,
Leaves play, landing in the stream
Like boats on the sea.

Slinking through the land,
Slicing through the harsh bracken,
Babbling like a babe,

Over the rapids,
Churning in the foaming clash,
Boats journey onward.

Ripples left behind,
The current drifts and lingers.
Swallowed by the sea.
