Is there something to be learned
from the autumn in the trees?
They are brilliant in their rainbow cacophony,
but they are dying.

The vibrant crowds of leaves breezily bend,
suffocate
slowly;
and the longer it takes for their breath
to wane, the more beautiful the flame
in the veiny fibers.

Like live fireworks lit
by the fuse of the sun,
then doused by the chilled water of winter,
the foliage rages in silent chaos.
It is mutinous in the face of inevitability.

Through the grey-card muted season
of monotones, the memory remains
a knotted bow. It waits in the recesses
of the stagnant, shadowed mind
to be stirred to life;
when the wind rides off the sea,
when color flushes Gaia's cheek again.
