A DAY IN AUTUMN
Crisp golden leaves
touch the ground
For the very first
time
Experiencing the
moist soil and soft grass
All year long, they
have clung
To their mother’s
embrace
Now they stand independent
Having bloomed in beauty
through the passage of time
And now it’s time to
wither
Even though they
still feel like young ones
They’ve made their
mother look gorgeous
Always
Now it’s time to
leave her
But what’s a tree
without her leaves?
Lonely.
Like a writer without
words
A chef without food
Like themselves
It’s a season of
change
Nothing stays the
same forever
They’ve witnessed
beauty, despair
Is that all life has
to offer?
They wonder
No, there’s much more
And then there’s
death.
