: Autumn of Life by Bucketlist

These trees represent people
In their third stage of Fall
Still have waning lives
Before the stone cold truth

Memories are the fallen leaves
Scattered from a full life
Yet slowly losing their strength
While fading away from view

Many are richer in hue
Some last longer to wither
In the third season of life
Health has played a part

Those who are sacrificed to rot
Will wither and die first
The ones which are brightest
Have got what they did need

Tree trunks are the people
With healthy sap and strength
Who still stand strong
Through the test of time

Unlike man who gives
But also takes in return
Wonder at their beauty
Which is unconditional
