No One Hears the Leaves Fall

you turn away

refusing to listen

you don't hear the words

you don't want to

wrapped up in life

there is no mystery

falling on deaf ears

billions of stars

you would expect

perfect geometry

somewhere

of course

but I know you wouldn't

you dismiss it

blind to the truth

you turn

and walk away
