Falling leaf

mookarmacowatgmaildotcom

All my days
In this tree
My sun receives my praise
And glee

But now the sun
Despite my green
Decides to run
And leave me be

The cold is nipping
At my dreams
My twig is ripping
At the seems

The last thread tears
I meet my doom
The sun just stares
I am found by gloom
