The Autumn Leaf
By Joseph (Methos) Mercurio

Autumn is beautiful; it is all about death and the act of dying. The leaf changes its color when it dies, to reveal a beautiful new one. Then when it falls it gently dances and ballets to the ground. I wish I could die like that. To die and give a new color, to give happiness, to give my remaining life to the tree, to then fall gently, quietly, and gracefully to the ground. So when people think of me they will not think of the sorrows, but of what I gave. People look at leaves thinking how beautiful they are, they remember them for that, not the fact that they died to create such happiness, and they just remember the feeling.
Sacrifice, a twisted sad wish. My sacrifice, is simply to fade away, and leave people wih memories of my joy, and not the suffering I have taken. That wish of mine to be the fading autumn leaf, is becoming true. And now I fade back into the shade...
