The Portrait of a Leaf
A leaf in fall is beautiful
Beautiful, yes, but dead
As it turns a vibrant hue, it is dying too
Every year we wait for autumn
when the trees turn brilliant colors
why does something have to be gone to be beautiful
why do we wait till something is dead to appreciate it
Beautiful
beautiful
vibrant
autumn
Brilliant
beautiful
dead
