Stories of Old
July 12, 2024
These leaves of fire and gold
Take flight from the mother tree
They carry stories of old
In the crease, in the fold
As they are blown out to sea
These leaves of fire and gold
A message they hold
Maybe one, maybe three
They carry stories of old
Light shines on the untold,
A new dawn it shall be
These leaves of fire and gold
To rewrite, remold
Their tangled history
They carry stories of old
Through the rain and the cold
To the land of the free
These leaves of fire and gold
They carry stories of old
