It’s a matter of time
When we will all grime

Today is my day
To depart as a stray

A sudden gust of wind
Tumbles me off my limb

I flit in the sky
Basking my last fly

Resting quietly on the ground
Blanketing the creatures that are around

The tree that once glared
Now stands bare

Once a part of a whole
Now lay alone in a knoll

May I whisper autumn bliss
when you crunch me into grits

Or do I just twiddle
Till I am nothing more than a tiddle
