The Leaves of Fall

Who tells the leaves its Fall and time to brighten

Up and fall down? Before they go, they cast a

Glow of bright reds and vivid yellows to celebrate

The height of their plume then dive into a murky

Place of gloom.

Gig at the Met which she never let friends and

Family forget. She had burst into a celebratory

Bloom of bright colors just before she took

A dive into the archives of The Met
