Leaves In The Wind

The wind blows hard,
As the trees sway,
Left right, left right,
Every single day.

Autumn leaves fall,
Down towards the ground,
Brown, orange, yellow, red
Dropping all around.

The veins bleed throughs,
The sap overflows
Down the trunk,
Close to the willow.

As autumn turns to spring,
And spring turns to summer,
The magical colour fades,
And all the leaves vanish.
