If leaves can speak
before they fall
Touch the ground
and turned golden brown
They might sing
a lullaby
Kiss your cheeks
then say goodbye
If leaves can dance
and sway their hips
As it bear the fruits
of your full red lips
Then they will whistle
the stars that twinkle
As the sun and moon
play in dazzle.
But if leaves can speak
the truth as it falls
They withered and leave
as they were swept by your feet
As you trample on them
and leave them beaten
For the truth you seek
is not always in rhythm
To the hopes and dreams
of your unspoken wishes.
And if leaves can speak
and you still hear not a thing
Just wait for the breeze
as it falls from the trees
Through the help of the wind
You will hear its voice
As it change its color
And teach you new beginnings.

If leaves can speak, they’ll tell the story like that of us humans. Born, brought up, had their prime and oldage and then died. Nicely penned.

“If”? I figure leaves speak just fine to a poet. They giggle, clap, dance in the wind and told a story to your heart. And, here a true poet has translated their language into ours so we might understand their higher awareness. Thanks for the shiver, it’s cool. (No pun intended. ….Well maybe alittle pun.) 🙂
