Sweeping the Leaf Piles&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;By: A.X Bueno

Ah Fall and it's refreshing cool breeze&nbsp;

On it is carried many things most especially all those different colored leaves&nbsp;

As they're carried on the wind they scatter here and there

Before you know it there's a lot of them and they're scattered everywhere&nbsp;

The changing leaves are nice for sure but cleaning them can be pain&nbsp;

You usually have to do it often enough that it can become a real drain&nbsp;

But it's necessary to keep your yards clean to pick up these leaves&nbsp;

Oh these leaves that only have to stay on the branches and then fall with the wind off the trees

The life of a leaf is one of ease

But for the one cleaning them it is a struggle&nbsp;

Especially when it leaves you tired and you have other things in life to juggle&nbsp;

But it's worth it to just look at those lovely leaves&nbsp;

From the big brown pointed ones to the small yellow circular ones that all must be retrieved&nbsp;

Their beauty can only be appreciated for a short time before off the sidewalks and streets they must be cleaned

They drop all through the fall months though so to keep free of their clutter you'll have to often reconvene&nbsp;

That just gives more time to admire the beauty in the different colors and sizes

You can do it even with the leaf piles you organize&nbsp;

It's important to recognize something while it lasts&nbsp;

Savor the falling leaves and autumn even while clearing a path&nbsp;

For soon enough the season and the leaf piles will be all gone&nbsp;

But that's not important to dwell on

The crunch of the fallen leaves in the piles and the fall come in cycles&nbsp;

So even if you don't take the time to savor it while cleaning you can sit idle and wait for the seasons revival &nbsp; &nbsp;
