You would think
that it is when they are first alive
that the leaves would be the most vibrant
the most colourful
the most showy
the most vain.
That they would be so attention seeking
when they are young and foolish.
But it seems to me
that they wait
until the they are ready
to fade away that they reveal
their true colours.
And who could guess
in the spring time
when they are such a young green
that they will one day mature
to become crimsons
golds
and amber.
Though still I must ask
why now?
