Our Too Brief Enjoyment

the green folliage

that once lined this country road

replaced with yellow and red

Autumn wears festive colours

for our too brief enjoyment

Those chloroplasts in leaves will not last forever. After the green goes, what's left is brown, yellow, or red, depending on the species of tree. As usual, a good write.
