The Leaf
In the summer we were so strong
Inseparable from the vine
I always thought that we’d belong
And that you’d always be mine
So I continue on and on
But winter came in on time
Is it me or doesn’t this matter
Maybe it’s a warning Sign!
Torn from the stem we’re disregarded
Now Different colours shapes and sizes
We are Battered, bruised & separated
Like a relationship in tatters
Years and years, all worn and faded
Is it me or does it now matter
I'm all damaged & degraded
Am I a leaf?

Wrote this poem many years ago but never published on here.
Don’t know why but on glancing through I think it’s one of my best ones
