Who Will Catch Me When I Fall

Posted on October 16, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Golden Leaf, quote by John Burroughs

Like a fading leaf

I wonder as I age

And detach from life

On my aged tree

Just what the end will be

I am trusting and

Praying that God’s angels

Catch me when I fall

Asleep on this earth

And like the wind

Gently take me up

To my eternal home

Where I will live on

In the God’s presence

On His Tree of Life

Syllabic Verse

People come and go

Things change like Fall leaves

And we must detach

With a quiet acceptance

Or fly away with the wind

Haiku about fall, leaves and a time of release — Original Poetry and Photography by Leona J. Atkinson ©2014

As the trees shed their leaves, let us also shed our anxieties, fears, grudges, or any negative thoughts
that might be keeping us from moving forward into a new season.
