I fell in love with Norman MacCaig (and he doesn't know):

Autumn

Wanting to go,
all the leaves want to go
though they have achieved
their kingly robes.

Weary of colors,
they think of black earth,
they think of
white snow.

Stealthily, delicately,
as a safebreaker,
they unlock themselves
from branches.

And from their royal towers
they sift silently down
to become part of
the proletariat of mud.

I find that amazingly perfectly beautiful.

It's a gift for you. I love my garden, and I hope you like the poem.
