The Beauty of a Leafs Demise
A kaleidoscope of colour, dynamic impressions in flight,
A spectacular display of artistry that dazzles the sight.
Green turns to crimson, flaming tangerine, and gold.
A leafs transforming demise, is a beauty to behold.
As sap runs dry, youthful vitality turns evanescent,
The beauty of a leafs demise is resplendent iridescence.
Seasons change as midlife cedes to ever advancing age,
Power sapped by constant transience, yields place to the sage.
A leafs downfall, granted, is a casualty of the season,
It's journey into oblivion, is transfixing beyond reason.
When a leaf, takes it's leave, exits gracefully from the scene,
Transcendent beauty leaves us breathless, an event to be seen.
