With leaves — the same cycle. 
Reawaken.
Flourish. 
Drop. 
Depart.

Year after year. 
The cycle of leaves — uncomplicated.

Leaves blossom in the spring.
Love is born.
Trees are the life of summer.
Love thrives. 
Leaves change and die in the fall.
Love leaves. 
Trees stand barren in winter.
Love punishes.

Lover after lover.
The cycle of love — complicated.

The tree stands tall throughout this rhythm.
The tree remains resolute in every purpose.
The tree offers redemption for the leaf.
The tree absolves the leaf.

The leaf — the beauty.
The tree — the spine.
Together — the love.

Year after year.
The cycle — unbroken.
