Lone orange maple leaf clings to the barren branch Last pumpkin cookie sits alone on the party plate Remaining wrapped chocolate rests in the trick-ortreat bowl Final red rose bows gracefully on the bush Passages of their seasons complete in purpose Think of the autumn of one’s years— the color, the essence, the life journey what legacy shall it leave?
