She’s become the outer shell of herself That sheds itself like trees’ leaves in autumn—
The beauty of vibrant living while dying. Each gracefully falling leaf goes unnoticedUntil it joins the others on the ground below; So too are parts of her lost, one by one. There is no logical explanation, no prevention. It’s just the change of seasons and of reasons. Life and death are happening for her With no stillness of winds, no pauses. As the leaves fall, their paths are steady, Delicate, but unknown to outsiders; So too is her journey and her realization That this happens every year.
