Notes About The Poem

Written on August 19, 2026

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

A Leaf In The Woods


My heart, though silent, beats steadier, then
Love is written in this gentle voice
Cool winds, playing softly, a moment, when
Gentle thoughts offer no other choice

Singing a chorus of love that believes
My spirit soars to new heights, I can see
Beyond the music of the tree who grieves
Sweetest song, so rich and brave, wind can free

Secured by faith, the joy of love shines bright
Sweetest tones of hope drift over my life
While notes of peace rise from the sunny light
I feel the sway of music that heals worst strife

Thrown about by the dreadful winds of change
Like a leaf in the woods, whose fate feels strange
