With a look
That says the end
Has finally come
She sighs and stands
She nods
"I was waiting for forever..."
But forever won't come
So she smiles
And walks to the woods
Where the autumn is fair
Even fairer than spring
She walks among the trees
That slowly shed their leaves
A rainbow of red
And orange and yellow
Drifts happily
To the ground
She smiles
Not at all bitter
For all things end
Some fairer than most
But the moral
Of the story of nature
Is that beauty always
Comes back
