..:







I am alone in my process

Autumn is showing me that the leaves need

to depart from the trees

I am a single leaf

gracefully falling

floating through the misty air

onto my bed which is the earth

There are other leaves

that touch my outstretched arms

and they too are looking up

into the overcast sky, waiting for

winters first snow…

Soon, we will be covered in

a blanket of ice crystals,

waiting patiently to

transcend.

Another cycle of life

begins.
