Falling leaves, old age,
Change in color, transforming,
Final trips around sun.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Great! We are all falling leaves....
You capture the quiet inevitability of aging through simple yet evocative imagery. The shift from nature to human experience is seamless, giving the haiku a deeper emotional resonance.
This is a very creative way to look at the leaves.
I love the last line! I didn't think of it this way before, but they are truly seeing the sun for the last time.
The autumn leaves of one's old age. I see a poem starting in my head. very well done Sid.
Beautifully poignant, autumn as both transformation and farewell makes this haiku resonate deeply.
Oooo, final trips around sun, I especially loved that!
Such a poignant haiku, beautifully tying the cycle of seasons to the cycle of life.
I love how you did this… intertwined the coming of Autumn with the process of aging. Brilliantly written.
