Autumn Leaves

As I sit on the Train

Gazing out the Window pane

Autumn Leaves are All Aflame

Orange, red and pinks Glow

Yet It’s not a time of growth

But a Time of approaching Death

As soon there will Be no leaves left

It’s not seen as a curse

But an Opportunity

For One last burst

As each leaf Shines it’s colours

I Know

There can never Be another

Moment

Quite like This

Astounded by this Fiery Kiss

I Wonder

Do they Know?

As they wave in the Wind Together

That soon they will wither

And shrivel

The Trees and the Earth

Live on though

And so

Perhaps that’s Why

They’re All so Bright

Celebrating the Cycles

of Eternal Life
