Minti Tales to Read With Tea

Where the Leaves Go

Where the Leaves Go

Jun 07, 2020

Harsh winds howl past

Creeping far over the rise

Across the lonely skies.


Down in the valley below

The leaves are blown around

In the wistful currents abound.


Leaves cry in the bitter wind

Carrying loud whimpers and moans

For their final destination’s unknown.


Some might feel much sorrow

Now knowing where they’ll fly

And so to the winds they cry


Out to the sun and sky

And over great earthen mounds,

“Die down, bitter wind, die down!”

Inspired by Ting-xing Ye's, "A Leaf in the Bitter Wind," which made me think about how leaves can't always choose where they fall.

Most times leaves are at the mercy of the winds, so I wanted to write about the uncertainty of the future and the struggles endured to get there. I'm sure many can relate.
