The leaves leave me yearly
And I chase them knowing
I'll catch them when I leave.

Flookyyy

Short and sweet.
I really do love this.
The imagery is really nice.

I understand and can see the leaves leaving each autumn. Can even see chasing them, in my imagination with a rake, but (might be the blonde hair dye seeping into my brain after all these years) I'm not understanding the last line. Are you saying you'll catch them when you die? I like the imagery of autumn leaves falling. It takes me back to walking home from high school and shooshing my feet through layers of fallen leaves on the sidewalks. I can see the dry leaves dancing in the wind, skittering on the ground and whirling in the wake of our car as we pass through them. Really great imagery, actually, lol.

Would you please explain for this hair dye poisoned brain?

The leaves leave me yearly
And I chase them knowing
I'll catch them when I leave.

Yes, that's what it states. You didn't miss the meaning.

Cool! I'm glad I was able to understand what you were saying. It makes sense that way.

Thanks for clarifying that for me!
