Death Has It's Colors

It's about time that I realize it is inevitable

Gulping down one last breath of air

And with that, one last beautiful exhale

Trees know, for they are awake, always listening

They are the ones who show us that death has its colors.

The leaves are beautiful, baby

They pile up in the backyard

A compiled mass of lovely death

And we rejoice.

Like seasons, we have our time and it will come

Sometimes without further notice.

Like leaves, we will become part of the Earth

Each of us with different colors

My favorite color was always green

The color of life, and joy

But baby, thank you for allowing me realize

That the other colors are stunning.
