The ground is covered with debris

after the leaves have fallen down

for late autumn has descended

each mighty tree have lost their crown

Foliage found thickly on the around

as 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.
