Natures Death

The trees are shades of yellow 
The leaves are a frightening red
And now the leaves are falling off,
This means nature’s dead
The autumn leaves succumb
To winters icy breath
Now the flowers are all gone
For this is natures death
Before the winter packs to go 
She returns the leaves 
Green and new
And she takes back her frozen snow
Spring and summer come to pass
Once more the birds all 
Fly away
Right before winter, comes to stay 
All the flowers, trees, and grass
Know their lives have once more
Come to pass
And once more winters icy breath 
Spells our misery 
And 
This natures death 
I was always taught that death is sad 
I was always taught that death was bad 
So why is the death of nature the most beautiful death
Because in the end 
You know this death will come again
But before death there is always life
And this is why winter is the 
Most breath taking sight
