Analysis of The leaves are falling
Jonathan Zyra 1976 (Holyoke Massachusetts)
The leaves are falling off the tree.
The wind is strong and pushing me.
The clouds are fast and passing by,
a lonely tear has left my eye.
With my thoughts I sit alone.
The coldest night I've ever known.
The leaves are falling off the tree.
The wind has taken them from me.
