Then there is silence...
...for a moment nothing moves!
Leaves fall like rain shuffled between a tornado's wrath!
Wind whistles...
Leaves crackle and rattle...
...like a grenade being tossed on an unseen landmine!
Leaves all join as one, going to the same place...
...moving in the same direction, not sure of their destination.
Like a flock escaping the bitter Winter, leaves quickly fly away,
only to find themselves returning to the place from which they fled!
Leaves lie still, scattered about the ground...
...like lifeless children scattered as far as the eyes can see!
Like leaves raked up as if they were never there,
memories and issues are conveniently swept away and forgotten!
Leaves now run in the streets like children who are free!
Leaves fall like rain, each drop is an unforgettable memory!
Children eagerly dive into these piles of leaves before they can be swept away and forgotten!
Their passion and hunger breathes life into every memory,
like freedom and redemption leaping on trampolines!
Leaves lie still...
Leaves join as one...
...like the immovable passion and steady resilience held by those who will not rest till others are liberated!
