I spotted a bird a couple of days ago, right after the first snow, that was an amazing shade of red. It dipped into purple and then surfaced at orange. I watched it flutter its wings and dip and cock its head, but after a couple of minutes I realized it wasn't a bird. Nothing but the last of only a few fall leaves. I stopped watching. In the few seconds between realization and the downfall of my eyes into disappointment, it had fallen into the snow. A drop of blood frozen in place. Impossible to be forgotten. How long could it have remained a bird? Would it have eventually flown away?

here in this world it would never be a bird, only a beautiful deception. yet, in your hidden, secret place it would have flown away and rested again in the sentiments of your fallen emotion. where you were sad, it would sing for the happiness that would lift you and where you were happy it would build a nest to have its children. where you were afraid, it would define your fears and because you have learned to recognise beauty, you would no longer tremble, you would only pause to remember and respect.

yes, but in my world my eyes are only bad as long as my mind lets them be. What is the difference between bird and leaf? what makes one more beautiful? The color didn't change. The movement didn't change, only ownership. So that is it, the carrier of the prize is what gives it beauty?

the difference between bird and leaf is perception and identification. we see what we want to see. the value you give it as beautiful is based on the quality of aestheticism you are perceiving at the moment. now. what are you seeing? is it beautiful? of course it is. how does it change you by looking at it?

i don't want to be disappointed because I thought a leaf was a bird, I want to be amazed.
