The autumn leaves dance on the breeze,
Whispering farewells to the trees.
Golden hues turn to rust,
Crumbled memories in the dust.

Once vibrant, now they fall,
Silent echoes of nature’s call.
Each leaf a story, a fleeting sigh,
A gentle reminder of goodbye.

The world continues, unaware,
Of the sorrow the wind must bear.
Yet in their descent, beauty lies,
A tribute to life that never dies.

“Lament of the Autumn Leaves” by Jasper Collins reflects on the natural cycle of life and death, using the imagery of falling leaves to symbolize loss and remembrance. The poem captures the beauty and sorrow of letting go.
