I watch a leaf descend the
Autumn sky -
And a moment comes together.
From the kiss of its release to the
Meeting of my gaze - there seemed a
Play of time and events that brought the leaf and I into the
Contact of an instant.
A lifetime and a span of unseen intent from seed to a
Single letting go - we come to now - this leaf and
I and a perfect autumn sky - we come to now.
And the leaf settles into an earth that holds a thousand
Such moments - and my gaze follows, lingering on
Their untold stories.
Soon - I’ll turn away - autumns almost over…and
Winter skies hold their own mysteries.
