In the falling of the leaves
Some see autumn
Some see themselves
In the bare branches of the trees
Some see a season
Some see life

Hi Nosheen, In the falling of leaves, Some see autumn Some see themselves.... So true. Autumn is the harbinger of bitterer times, the winter. But leaves falling, is not the end of the world. because if winter is here, can spring be far behind? And Nosheen has a wonderful heart that looks at everything with a positive outlook, even at Autumn. I loved this little smile of hers at life. All seasons have a reason...10+++

Yes, each person has a different set of mind with a philosophy of his her own. How does one perceive things matters a lot. A great poem!

In the falling of the leaves Some see autumn Some see themselves........a great philosophical theme is inside it. Falling of leaves indicate the arrival of spring. Human bodies are like leaves that may fall anytime from soul and will get new life again which is called rebirth. A great philosophical poem based on Autumn has been astutely and hauntingly inscribed.10

The image also contains the haunting beauty of a barren tree standing like a majestic sculpture in the landscape, its beauty revealed but only to the discerning eye (as in life) . You've captured it all beautifully! (Had to write the comment in two parts as it won't take more than 300 characters. This is the 2nd part.)

Powerful image of a bare tree and life. The image contains in it the loneliness, grief and loss that's part of life: The stripped and shapely Maple grieves The ghosts of her Departed leaves - John Updike But also the strength and resilience that leads to renewal: It bares its naked branches to the cold Defying winter to bring on the snow Alone and vulnerable, but bold. - Unknown
