Silent Death(Tanka)

Leaves under my feet

The lonely trees watch them fall

Weeping at the sight

The smell of fall fills the air

As the ground becomes a grave

The trees mourn their loss

Cursing fall's interference

The limbs pay tribute

Swaying in the autumn breeze

Saying farewell to the leaves

Freed from their prison

Racing to meet their purpose

Destiny fulfilled

They rest till they turn to dust

And suddenly disappear
