NOUN: fall - the season when the leaves fall from the trees
It is not suprising to me that such a beautiful season can bring about certain emotions, however it maybe posess a bit of irony in it's name. The word fall has many contradicting ways it can be used. People can fall in or out of love, for example, which goes from one extreme emotion to the next. But I guess it all just comes down to losing your footing, finding yourself in a state different from before. Like a leaf changing from green to orange, falling from the branch it so comfortably held onto for so long. That little leaf falls without any control, and its so beautiful when it does. My heart is falling right along with that little leaf, and I can only hope that somebody finds it, picks it up and keeps it safe.
