Beauty of Impermanence

Crisp air, fallen leaves
Shattered shapes, 
Whispering tales of metamorphosis.
Their effortless art of surrender,
Breaking down into the soil to serve the growth of others,
Demonstrate the value of transition. 
They fulfill the circle of life,
Becoming echoes of the essence of existence,
Displaying the absolute beauty of impermanence.
