A Celebrated Death



And sometimes I wonder 
Why do people 
Become Shutterbugs 
When Autumn knocks at the door 
And why do Painters 
Go out into the woods 
When the leaves gasp
Before they fall off  
And why do Soloists 
Travel the miles 
To compose the music 
While stepping over 
Dead and dried up leaves 
How do they manage to live 
On the peak of ardor 
When leaves fall down?
Is it spectacular 
Seeing them fall? 
Sometimes I wonder 
Is death really supposed to be celebrated?
