The Leaves of Autumn

Like cherry blossoms in the spring the leaves of autumn loosely cling upon the drab, dark brownish bark creating contrasts, stunning, stark. As autumn leaves descend in droves upon the earth like manna loaves they blanket her with a patchwork quilt like muddy waters settle silt. The autumn leaves of various hues oh, how they, our senses schmooze. The yellow, brown, orange, and red delight our sight before they’re shed. Who would believe that dying leaves could hide such magic in their sleeves? What a parable! Beauty in death, 'Tis how God views His saints’ last breath.
