The Fall by R.L. Kirkendall II

O, simple leaf, residing on a branch:

How long till howling nights and wayward storms
And quaking limbs and pinching thorns
Fell your kingly form.
O, Lord, forestall that day
Speak not of its coming;
For I love that leaf
And could not bear the tumbling.

I too love leaves. They make me laugh.
