They Dance A Little, They Sing A Little Poem by Ravi Kopra

Autumn leaves
orange, red, brown, yellow in hues
float on the still lake
as cool breeze blows

they move in rhythm
they dance a little, they sing a little
smile, wave good bye, they go with grace
they know they'll be back next autumn

so natural

unlike humans
we cling to life, don't want to die
want to live forever, how un-natural
leaves have been here longer than man
they know what is natural

wake up man
look at the leaves
happy they come, happy they go
they give you shade, they give you happiness -

go sit beneath a bough
with your lover in tow
with a book of verse, a glass of wine
some crispies and dough

read love poems of Omar and Ravi
your hearts will throb, dance in love
your soul will sing, swirl in skies

but don't forget to look at the
autumn leaves floating on the still lake
moving in rhythm, dancing a little
smiling, waving good bye.
