Phillip Coffey: Nature's Song

By Phillip Coffey

The falling leaves gasped momentarily, drifting with the gentle breeze from the mighty Silver Maple tree that gave them life, but now they join so many more with their last Hurrahs of seasons glory.

So many heaped oh so high for children and kindred to laugh and toss for future stories. Nature's song and dance of rain and chills has all but stolen the gaiety of restful pleasure - with but a moment's notice. The mightiest in my nearsighted view harbors only a dull grey now.

The remaining leaves beneath - upon the forest floor shall soon decay returning to its mother - much life support during the winter season. Then with Father Time shall return with beauty for my homeplace in Springtime once more.
