Leaf on the wind (Free verse) by troll454
We supposed that the old man knew
perhaps we were wrong to assume.
The day that we came he seemed confused
perhaps we were wrong to assume.
He had lived there all his life
it would seem wrong to him to move,
the latch key turned and the door closed
the old man shuffled out onto the porch.
He was leaving his land, his dreams, his memories
the woman he loved, died there
the family they raised played there.
Where would he go now.
A leaf crossed his path and was carried on the wind,
his dreams and future followed.
