The Last Leaf

Tauheed Ahmed March 18, 2005

Tags: life , death , passage , sadness

Up in the tree
Touched by the breeze
What must it be
For the last of the leaves

My father and I
Went walking at dawn
He said with a sigh
“My friends are all gone”

That last leaf
Is now one with the sky
Summer is so brief
For leaves to enjoy
