My pleasure in leaf shuffling is over for this year, l fear. Heavy rain at the end of November has silenced the leaves; they are matted close to the earth now, well on the way to fitting the earth with Frost's "leather glove."
"Before the leaves can mount again
To fill the earth with another shade,” Frost wrote.
"They must go down past things coming up,
They must go down into the dark decayed."
This year’s fallen leaves will eventually nourish the tree that produced them. It's another of nature’s cycles of life. Maybe my leaf treading is part of the process but only a very small part. Nature does not need my help in sending the dry leaves down into the "dark decayed"
