The Old Ones Fall

Misinterpretation of an old man.

Do you think that in autumn, when a leaf falls from a tree, that is old, and withered, it just waits to be swept away with the wind? It displays its colors, elegantly, and with those of its kind. They show everyone the beauty of the world. You too can do this, the wisdom, the experience, the knowledge, the history you carry.

just brilliant.... it reminds me of one of walt whitman's poems about the mature woman being more beautiful, the beauty is in the experience and what that offers.

Thank you, I don't think I read that one.

ah, it's called beautiful women:
Women sit, or move to and fro--some old, some young;
The young are beautiful--but the old are more beautiful than the
young.
