A Leaf Fallen

a leaf fallen... a leaf fallen to the ground cannot be placed back upon the branches of the tree... a leaf fallen is separated from the nourishment of the trunk or the roots... a leaf fallen can never be what it once was as it dries up and lies separated from its main source of energy... its edges curled and the moisture being drawn like water from a well... a leaf fallen is tossed and turned and blows with no direction from the wind... it has no control over its destination... it lies lifeless and abandoned, crunchy, and beneath the feet of the enemy... a leaf fallen... gwendolen rix 12-17-14
