leaving ...........

leaves
beautiful leaves
all shapes an sizes
dancing in the breeze
absorbing
filtering
glistening
long an thin
round
colours astound
how many greens
backdropped against
the summer sky
mesmerising
the wanton eye
searching
for the sun
ever seeking
waiting
for the rain
to quench
their shiny skin
so they can begin
to be leaves
beautiful leaves
once again
