Hello Shobs
Beauty is shortlived yet so long as it lasts pleasures all. I was reminded of Hopkins' Spring and Fall - 'Margaret, are you grieving/ Over golden grove unleaving/ Leaves, like the things of man/ you with your fresh thoughts care for . . .

Thank you and am glad you enjoyed reading it. As a child I did sometimes think in these terms.

Unfortunately that's the way life is, but beauty of the beholder - may it not fade away.

A poem of beauty, this is. And when we can look at something beyond our eyes, there is beauty to be found in all.

If it could talk, the leaf could tell us a bunch of stories.
