Looking at life through leaves....

Have you ever looked at the leaves? How at this time they're changing, bright, beautiful and breath taking.. How about how they're falling slowly, gracefully against the bitter stiff winds.. Noticing that none of them are the same.. some red, some orange, yellow, some even still green, some barely hanging on and some bare it all for our eyes to see.. Naked.. but all slightly different in they're own way..
Have you ever thought about how twisted our minds are to think that the leaves are there beautifulest.. when they're getting ready to die.. They're slowly suffocating.. we love it.. so we take pics of it, we get married against it because we like the colors.. seems strange that when they first turn we're all about that.. sightseeing.. but as they get closer to death is when the beauty once again starts to fade.. they fall.. slowly gracefully against the stiff winds.. we rake them, pile them, kids jump in them and we discard them..
But in the beginning of the end we loved them..
Funny because it seems like we go through life just the same, when we're first born everybody thinks we're adorable because we're new fresh like spring.. young adults we're young beautiful, impressionable we're wanted (leaves are changing) .. when we're mid-age we're not as important these are the Browning stages.. once we're older and our very own process begins we're loved cherished ..  but once we're gone we become just as the naked trees bags of leaves...
