autum comes
I am a lone leaf on a tree
holding for dear life
last one to
fall
winter comes
and I am huddled
on the ground with my
fallen brothers and sisters
I return to the earth
and absorbed back into the great source
the giver of life
the tree
spring comes
I am reborn again
budding, growing
and no longer alone on the tree
I had forgotten that I was never alone
I was holding on when I should of let go
to join the great connection
of life
