22:01:42: Taroneh Afsoon: Last leaf of autumn

22:01:56: Taroneh Afsoon: Where do you fall?

22:02:03: Taroneh Afsoon: Wrinkled brown

22:02:11: Taroneh Afsoon: Flutter down--

22:02:24: Taroneh Afsoon: flutter down.

22:02:31: >Taroneh Afsoon stares into the waters

22:02:39: Taroneh Afsoon: Down from empty limbs

22:02:52: Taroneh Afsoon: Reaching high

22:03:00: Taroneh Afsoon: Into the cold grey

22:03:09: Taroneh Afsoon: Colour gone away--

22:03:19: Taroneh Afsoon: gone away.

22:03:25: Taroneh Afsoon: Do the winds catch you

22:03:41: Taroneh Afsoon: Torn from nursing branch

22:03:55: Taroneh Afsoon: Into darkening air

22:04:04: Taroneh Afsoon: Leaf must fare--

22:04:14: Taroneh Afsoon: must fare?

22:04:23: Taroneh Afsoon: Or into crystal stream

22:04:35: Taroneh Afsoon: Against rocky bar

22:04:45: Taroneh Afsoon: Caught in undertow

22:04:57: >Taroneh Afsoon swirls her hand in the water

22:05:06: Taroneh Afsoon: deep below--

22:05:13: Taroneh Afsoon: deep below.

22:05:19: Taroneh Afsoon: How green you once were

22:05:30: Taroneh Afsoon: A youthful contribution

22:05:43: Taroneh Afsoon: Usefulness now gone

22:05:52: Taroneh Afsoon: Foliage wan--

22:06:00: Taroneh Afsoon: Foliage wan.

22:06:06: Taroneh Afsoon: Now buds await the spring

22:06:30: Taroneh Afsoon: Abiding the frosts of winter

22:06:33: Taroneh Afsoon: Away the tired leaf!

22:06:46: Taroneh Afsoon: Staying, no grief--

22:07:01: Taroneh Afsoon: no grief.

22:07:06: Taroneh Afsoon: All breaths upon you

22:07:19: >Taroneh Afsoon sighs and pauses

22:07:26: Taroneh Afsoon: Lead unto same fate

22:07:46: Taroneh Afsoon: Go to ground in decay

22:07:51: Taroneh Afsoon: For little leaf fey--

22:08:03: Taroneh Afsoon: little leaf fey.

22:08:12: Taroneh Afsoon: With your departure

22:08:25: Taroneh Afsoon: Went a warm summer

22:08:32: Taroneh Afsoon: Memories no more

22:08:45: Taroneh Afsoon: Close the door--

22:08:49: Taroneh Afsoon: Close the door

22:08:57: Taroneh Afsoon: Last leaf of autumn

22:09:09: Taroneh Afsoon: To where do you drift?

22:09:16: Taroneh Afsoon: whisper your call

22:09:37: >Taroneh Afsoon whispers now 

22:09:50: Taroneh Afsoon: Before you fall--

22:09:53: Taroneh Afsoon: Before you fall.

22:10:01: Taroneh Afsoon: Wrinkled brown

22:10:13: Taroneh Afsoon: Flutter down,

22:10:20: Taroneh Afsoon: Flutter           down.

22:10:49: >Taroneh Afsoon finishes with barely a whisper, and returns
