Money Tree

These are the leaves
From which you gain your wealth
They are soft, living, green

little Children passing by
pick the leaves
carelessly
and toss them aside

Adults look at the leaves
as they whither away
wonderingly
searching for a meaning

the Elderly, in their time
pause and remember what they used to be
as the leaves fall in a wonderous blaze
dreading fire, yet outshining it

In a light that never fades.
