Do the trees love the leaves, Their worldly decors hanging so peacefully? So beautifully do they fall into winter, That sorrowful trees wail in the wind Yearning for their beauty back, Naked until spring. Or do the leaves love the trees, That house them in their brambles And branches so bare when abandoned? Mere twigs become friends, Nourishing the green that gives them Life and purpose among the greater things.

Is It Beauty We Love?
Do the trees love the leaves, Their worldly decors hanging so peacefully? So beautifully do they fall into winter, That sorrowful trees wail in the wind Yearning for their beauty back, Naked until spring. Or do the leaves love the trees, That house them in their brambles And branches so bare when abandoned? Mere twigs become friends, Nourishing the green that gives them Life and purpose among the greater things.
