red leaves blow in the wind
leaving home and everything it's known behind
barren branches wave goodbye
as the red leaves slowly die
every flower stares and watches
as the wind takes me away
before the sun shone upon me
now the wind takes me away
red leaves falling
through the branches
making their way to the ground
blowing by the flowers sleeping
no one knows the leaves are leaving - Haste the Day
Back in the 90's I wrote a little book titled The Red Leaf. It was never published and it sits in my closet in protective wrap. Maybe one day this will be the cover. It was what I was thinking when I noticed the leaf on the floor.
I used this on Ruby Tuesday but it is honestly my favorite leaf photo.
maybe can preserve it and use as a bookmark. ;p
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I like Fall-ish colours:)Mine is posted HERE. Happy RT!~
ReplyDeleteLovely words and they fit in so well with the season! Congratulations on writing a book; and Happy Ruby Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of feeling packed into this photo... a single leaf, lost from its tree.
ReplyDeletePerhaps that was the last leaf to fall. All the others have already been swept away. The strongest survived until every other leaf was gone. Lovely photograph.
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous leaf, lonely but striking. This is a shade of red that can't be defined - the types of red you see only in the Autmn. Good choice!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely photo, Maria! I hope you do get your book published! Happy Ruby Tuesday! :)
