Surrounded by burning trees
hides a secluded lake.
Sunlight reflects off its midnight surface.
Wind blows a few burning leaves
into the lake along with a cool green leaf
Dark clouds visible on the horizon.
Thunder heard in the distance.
Drop a stone in the water,
watch the ripple affect stir the leaves.
Throw many stones rapidly in
Pouring Rain
Raging thunder
Rushing winds
The leaves get swept away
caught in the banks
Once burning leaves, shrivel.
Single green leaf, no longer green
decomposes into nothing.
Memory of a person’s life
fades away.
