What Is Fall? Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

What Is Fall?



Is Fall just fallen leaves or What? Yes, fallen leaves That fall slowly on The ground or they fly away With wind... In other words, Fall takes off its clothes (leaves) Just to pave the way for what is coming... Old fallen leaves leave their mother-tree just To make room for the new comers... Those old leaves get old and they go To their final trip and their final destination In our stoves, in the rivers, in the corners, ..., etc Fall overlooks with frown smile To tell us that it's here... Winds blow everything including All those fallen just To make their journey in life... The naked tress wait to be dressed In the coming days patiently... Those evergreen leaves cling and stick To their trees, but Not for ever... Every fallen leave bears that pretty Fall On its face... Every fallen leave is an image to those Leaves that were one day on their mother-tree... They're (The fallen leaves) separated by Winds just to make room for the other new leaves That will come to life later on... These fallen leaves are like us, that is, When their comes, then They have no choice, but To leave to their final destination Because it is impossible for them to stay... This is the pretty Fall and this is The life of those fallen leaves............. ______________________________________________________________________
