The Leaf Poem by Charl JF Cilliers

The Leaf

Rating: 5.0


A leaf is green and splendid in the spring.
Full of life, its image leaps into our eyes.

Yet pale are all its colours when it’s living
compared with its brief, vast splendour as it dies.

It's one of the most beautiful poems I read today. The idea of changing colours and the oppositions of life and death are amazing. Carpe diem!
