Autumn Light
i learned, on the nightly news, autumn leaves
are actually pushed from branches
to make space for the coming winter snows
which would be too weighty for the tree to bear.
In essence, the tree becomes bare to bear.
that makes the fall sound bland.
i shine to thinking fall's leaves coming down
like confetti for the ending and beginning of years.
this allows for the necessity
as well as the romanticism of the season --
a celebration of circumstances.
