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.
