Beneath The Dead Leaves…

Cleaning my backyard today,
Removed all the dead maple leaves,
Lived their lives from Spring to Fall.
Beneath the dead leaves was buried a bird,
Silent and cold, would never be again heard.
Chirping once in the air, soft feathers could fly
Today washed with the harsh weather left to die.
I am sure while dying must be looking up into the sky,
Small innocent soft feathers, who just learned to fly,
Will learn the hard way as always mother wanted to try…
