Poems
Sep 2014
death of a leaf
one small leaf
set adrift
from the tree
torn asunder
in wind rain
and thunder
battered
by
life's storm
now balances
pecariously
on table's edge
not yet ready
to become
detrius underfoot
waiting
daring,
demanding
to become
just another
fond,
frail memory
pale
green
perfection
unblemished
bar the untimely
amputation
each cell
delineated
in cellular beauty
taken
far too
young
sometimes
you gotta
hate
natural
selection's
descisions
sometimes
mother nature
is dumb...
crushed
but
not defeated
they
leaf brothers
and sisters
will but
carry on....
for they
are
young and hopeful
ignorant
but
strong
one death
can be absorbed
and lost in living on
the tree
will
stretch
ever upward
for that
is the
tree's
everlasting
song
seek
the sun
seek
the sun
and you
can never
go wrong.
