A small drop squeezed out of autumn leaves
gives another flowing spring.

Like fallen leaves we stay
dark and dancing upon the ground.
Stepped over; ignored.
A memory of natural creation.
A ghost of days gone by.

Once a burst of human creativity,
a glimpse of perpetual love and emotion now just an adverse memory
playing on a loop
with no hope of recreation
again and again and again.

Like fallen leaves we stay
decaying into the mists of time
picked up and dropped
Once beautiful.
Once alive.

Relationships come to an end and it’s nothing unordinary to reminisce on what it was before it finished; this poem is that thought process in action.

Written in 2014.
Still my Dad’s favorite poem of mine.

fall

watch the
autumn leaves
break off in
the wind and
spiral down
in a grace
ful twirl be
fore landing
on the cold
wet
pavement

haiku: killdeer's pitcher

After a drizzle
the concave leaf turns pitcher,
for tiny killdeer

While it was drizzling i saw two killdeer, their birds that like to run or dash on ground as the feed or lay their eggs. As i saw them drinking water on a fallen umbrella leaf this image stuck in my head .

Self Love

Whirling like a leaf
to the melody of a zephyr
I embellished self-love

Let Go.

The leaf latched onto the thin branch near the brook.
But even leaves, as simple as they are, know when to let go and trust the wind to take them.

A leaf

Just a leaf
Remembering a time when it was a mere seed
Then it grew
Ventured through stem and roots
Up through entagled vines
Up till it could see the vast sky
A journey
Like yours and mine
In the roads of life, so entwined
In memories from soil to light
Then it fallls
And our journey comes to a halt
As the roads become no more
Back into the soil we return
next to a new seed ready to bloom
