Life ending
So future ones can begin
The beauty,
It’s really death.
But we stare in awe.
It’s special.
Death is not always beautiful.
For these few months it is.
Then, it’s lonely.
Bare trees
Gray skies
It’s not lonely forever,
Even though it seems that way.
Sometimes,
Green leaves
New life
Spring
All thanks to autumn
