The noise of fallen leaves

Have you heard the noise of falling leaves?

Yes, Autumn is here

Playing with each of them

Giving them for a moment

The illusion of freedom.

How far from their tree

Will they fall before being discarded?

How long will they travel

Enjoying each second to its utmost?

Is freedom worth fighting for with one’s death?

It certainly is, if one is to fight against tyranny,

In the hope the next generation will live in peace.

We shall remember the fallen when celebrating victory.
