Before The Last Leaf Falls

A revelation came to me
when I arose this day
For I saw a single leaf upon a tree and watched it sway

I watched this little leaf
adhere with such tenacity
yet the winter winds they summon that the leaf
must now be free

Before the last leaf falls
as I  hold to this my state
The time for realization nears
and beckons towards my fate

To help you to get started on a buddy list, click on my name on this comment; it will take you to my profile. On the left-hand side you will see `Add to buddy list` click on that and then click `add`. Once you've done this you can do the same with other people, like the members comment on your poems, and do the same thing. Also you can send private messages that only the member you're sending it to will be able to read. You'll find this at the bottom of the Navigation bar on the right of the page. Rosina xena465
