Little Lacy Leaf

The ground is covered with debris
after the leaves have fallen down
for autumn has now descended
each mighty tree has lost their crown

foliage found thickly on the around
for the seasons, they can not stay
slowly losing their bright colours
constantly changing every day

decaying, disintegrating
taking on a new appearance
rotting, composting back to soil
before winter does the clearance

small patches of lace can be seen
among all the leaves on the ground
so beautiful and delicate
a little treasure that`s been found
