Meditation 13
Like decorations
The trees wear their leaves like pins
All war veterans
Orange and yellow
Red and the remaining green
A vivid rainbow
The battles well fought
Are those that are temporal
A similar plight
We each will face time
And it’s fated conclusion
That I assure you
I hope to return
Since I am not evergreen
As buds on branches
Life begins anew
A chance to be beautiful
Ending with winter
For now I admire
All the colors of Autumn
And the part I play
