Basically in a way the trees are speaking to us, and yes the trees pertain to humans because like trees we are alive. But, although the trees appear to be so pretty in their fall colors.... like us they are dieing, lack of oxygen. Everything in the world is made to scratch, dent, chip, rot and die....because it's only temporary in this life.... except for our soul-spirit that will live for eternity.

I'm just guessing, but I wonder with all the reds, golds and oranges, if we're not loading up on warmth to get us through the winter...
Interesting question, I'd never thought of this before...

I have long thought 'Ode To Autumn' by John Keats to be the perfect answer to such a question...it doesn't dictate or spell out the 'spiritual' side of Autumn, yet evokes it solidly with its fecund, ripened imagery ...and the hints of temporal mortality...it kind of draws it out of you.
Ironically, Keats was an atheist...

They symbolize and in fact, embody the idea of change and impermanence.

As long as they change, leafs that is, it is the sign of life.
