Scatter

Leaves scatter into the air after Dad throws them up high

His fingers tremble as they circle in the wind before falling with a crunch

Mum ruffles and sparkles through her own brown eyes,

And my sister breathes out with a relaxed sigh.

Magpies flap their wings as they fly into the watered sky,

As I wonder why. Why do they chirp as they pass by?

The leaves sing a song for the fallen that have passed away

To remember life is precious, each and every day.
