Opposite perspectives

autumn
tree leaves of various colors
ravishingly pleasing to the eyes
adding aesthetics to the surrounding
it’s difficult to turn your eyes away
the phenomenon is one of the Mother Earth’s marvelous miracles

fall
another word for autumn
another perspective; from the eyes of the leaves
they don’t see comeliness in their fall
they see death – THE END, LIFE NO MORE
they want to live
they want to agitate against their demise
but are helpless like all living/non-living entities
some leaves on the ground; victims of gravity
some wandering in the air; as if battling the nature
others bidding their time against their fate
