Spring and Fall
In verdant spring, a child's laugh takes flight,
Beneath a canopy of emerald light.
Petals dance, in the vernal air,
As hope blooms free, without a care.
Yet, comes the fall, with auburn hue,
Leaves whisper tales, as winds ensue.
A gentle sorrow in the heart doth lie,
As nature sings its lullaby.

This duality in nature inspired me to explore the emotional parallels in our own lives.
