搂树叶– 秋2023年10月15日

十岁学校扫树叶，积肥为农汗流淌。

袋装肩扛皆树叶，弃书操场变课堂。

尔今六十搂树叶，皆因金叶落地长。

谁说叶落须归根？风吹轻叶飘四方。

秋季来时树叶落，冬去春来生长忙。

根枝交错盼叶归，叶壮高飞落她乡。

金叶落时须勤搂，末待无叶空惆怅。

五色落叶编地毯，秋时搂去根无伤.

 

Note: I went to the 2-acre backyard and started collecting fallen broad leaves under a big aspen tree. While sieving the leaves, I wondered if all leaves would have fallen to the tree's trunk, and how far away from its root. When wind blows (an opportunity), leaves may fly high and far away from its root; when quiet and peaceful, leaves may just fall near the trunk and stay with their root.
