The Autumn Tree

I hardly knew you in your golden brown coat
You were so green the last time we met
Now you are so different
So bare of your green beauty,

Your body was full and rounded
So green and full of life it’s self
Now all I see is decay and emptiness
Bleak and disfigured in the autumn sun,

I see your every fault I thought so perfect
I see every line that you posses
And yet; in my mind I remember
how beautiful and perfect you once were,

How beautiful you will be again
Full of green summer life...

Annie,
15 June-1978

I believe trees are always perfect, even in their bareness, and as you say they always hold the promise of summer beauty.

Enjoyed your tree poem, dear Annie.

Love,
Margherita
