Treading Leaves Poem by Patrick Ladbrooke

Treading Leaves



I tread the leaves,
Which rustling, fly;
Life's steps I've gladly taken
Blackened lie,
In yellow brown of autumn wood.

I have wandered freely here
On virgin paths
That go nowhere;
Now shadows long are falling by
The leafless trees of autumn wood.

A passage here is soon forgotten
In winter's rains
As leaves lie rotting
And icy cold blows through the boughs
In blackened brown of winter wood.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I love Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken. This poem is about the road taken.
