Fall's Leaves
Though the leaves go and come eternally,
It seems that when they do depart,
It's almost always fall, in their called-away hearts.
How similar are we to them, in our leave-takings.
Our souls know when life's over,
Even when our spirits defy dying's vicissitudes.
All of us, regardless of existence's gifts,
Go there, get there, wherever "there" is —
The cemetery, the air, or God's shared paradise.
