Suddenly, autumn

the leaves have fallen, Brother Wolf,
trees bedraggled and beautiful
as rain drips softly, on and off,
wind gently prods now-bare branches
mourning summer's fallen playmates
regretfully swirling the dead

    Beauty in death. How can this be?

      I wonder if it's because the autumns deaths aren't necessarily true deaths? The leaves die for real, but the trees aren't really dead.

      Or perhaps I'm feeling that Japanese "beauty in impermanence" concept. : )
