The Echoes of Lost Leaves

The Echoes of Lost Leaves

I miss the Leaves on my Boughs, shedding now and forever.
I cradle the memories that I wish I’d sowed never.

Nurtured within my heart, but I question how,
Watched them changing colours; falling off, a cruel fate,
Plucked away, a pain that's hard to abate.

Parts of my life, they were, now in disarray,
Irreplaceable, in every way.

For I am a Tree, now barren and still,
Grounded well, but with time to fill.

Is this life, a Tree bereft of Leaves?
Standing in ‘solitude,’ in a world that deceives?

Each Leaf, a promised ‘trust,’
in the season of need and glee,
Now scattered by the winds –
I stand a Barren Tree,
Yearning for loyalty’s decree.
