Leaf's First Day

Greetings,

Ah, how the yellow leaf departed branch,

over dawn's fields toward dusty path

filled with singing love laughing trust children
snapping, crinkling, edges severed inside wind's fierce shudder,
dancing, twirling, spinning silent free

such a small snap, explosion, echoing, release this letting go
on a slow methodical day bright with experience, a focus of tonal notes
extended, expanded, slow and steady
as a leaf dances sensitive to frequencies, vibrations

an interpretation of truth

Metta.
