A Different Way of Thinking
I am in awe of minds that weave
and bend, finding hidden meanings
in the meanderings of life. For them
a leaf is much more than just a leaf.
Perhaps it has impact on the universe..
Surely it fell at that moment in time
for a reason. Did the fact that it nestled
against her skirt as she sat in the grass
have some hidden substance. …?
There may be deep contemplation of life
and the sadness and joy inherent in this cycle.
A simpler mind sees the leaf and thinks…
How beautiful this colored gift..
And lets it’s being sit easily ..
