Poetry- Fall Stairs

Inspired by Emily Dickenson


Like Hansel and Gretel’s bread crumbs
These fallen leaves lead somewhere.

It’s that time again, when things die and colors change
When things grow old and others renew

I need this change; my life can’t go on this way
I need these fallen brown, red, and yellow leaves
Because without change how can one’s life get better?

So, I follow these fallen leaves up these unknown stairs
In hopes that I’ve learned from my past experiences
And that something better awaits me.

But when I come to a point in my journey where
I won’t know whether to go left, straight, or right

My red leaves tell me to think with my heart
My yellow leaves tell me to think with my mind
And my brown leaves tell me to think with both

So every time things begin to die and colors begin to change,
When I need a map to help me find my way again,

I just look to life and follow my fall stairs up to the future.

Enjoy :)
