The Autumn Leaf (II)
The Autumn leaf fell,
into the roughness of the soil,
after it was parted away.
Tears of blood of painful adieu,
spreading all over it;
Red, magenta.
Fear of numbness,
piercing its skin;
Yellow, orange.
Darkness of loneliness,
enclosing it;
Black, brown.
The passerby beholds the colors,
he calls it a beauty.
Perhaps, like all the colors,
colors of pain,
colors of numbness,
colors of loneliness,
are beautiful, too.
Like the color of a fake smile,
they too hide the melancholy.
Holding on to nothing,
the autumn leaf wishes,
to be blown away,
by the fearless wind.
