The Changing of the Leaves

                         Do leaves look forward to autumn?
                                 
                         Do they twitch anxiously in anticipation 
                         waiting to break free from from the tree?
                         Do they dream of sailing through the wind
                         hoping they can float all the way through the sea?

                         Or do they tremble in fear
                         hating the idea of leaving home?
                         Do they cling tightly to where they belong
                         too nervous to let themselves roam?

                         Is autumn like the end of school?
                         Or more like the end of youth?
                          Is it something to look forward to?  
                          Or just an inevitable truth?
