When Leaves Fall In Autumn Poem by Gert Strydom

When Leaves Fall In Autumn



When leaves fall in autumn, lying all over the place
with the smell of decline penetrating,
in colours of yellow, brown and gold
nature is caught in a circle

in which life and death is present,
the dead leaves becomes the fertilizer
for new life sprouting from seeds
when the earth again brings forth life

and continuously this cycle proceeds
until trees are full of flowers, later full of fruit.
