Sounds of a drifting leaf

by Daniel J   Jul 16, 2006


The rustle of leaves fills the air,
They bustle from upon the ground,
Each looking to find it's pair,
All wishing to themselves be found.

The wind blows them about once more,
And into the air they're once again lift,
To find their friend each one is sure,
And yet they'll float further adrift...

Those leaves which fell from but one tree,
When the wind blows, who knows where they'll be,
Drifting, they're drifting apart; drifting apart,
'Til strangers once more they'll be.

    If I understood this as you intended it to be, then all I have to say is: what an awesome metaphor! I wasn't sure whether this is a poem about a brother, or about a friend, it would work either way.

    The repetition on "drift" really added to it as well. Amazing choice of words, you evidently put a lot of thought into it.

    I love this one, great job.
