Touch an autumn leaf fallen from a tree
Scattered everywhere like a debris
Mostly rough, they are crisp and brittle
Fading away little by little
From green to red to orange hues
They lose their moisture and livelihood dues

They are destined to fall
For the tree to stand tall
Autumn leaves, we all are
Living in this world to be a star
Our life changes colors and shades
We gather love, valuables, criticisms and accolades
Not knowing how far we would go
When will life change its flow
Nescient of the irony of fate
We indulge in jealousy and hate
Lost in this world as if we would never depart
We do forget the tree has got to do its part
Autumn will surely arrive
And water will be deprived
Taking back all the essence from the leaf
And then we falter in disbelief

The tree shows us how mere is our existence
No matter how much is our resistance
We do will fall one day
All our worldly acquires would be blown away
What will be left behind, just our names
Lucky you are, if you get a little acclaim
Tree will again flourish with the onset of spring
New leaves will fill up everything

Who you were, no one would remember
Just an autumn leaf who turned into an ember
And then evanescing slowly
From the memories wholly.

Apltly expressed.
Remind us of the ever changing phases in life and also highlight an important lesson that the time never remains the same forever but there will always a better phase like the trees get green again after every fall of leaves.
