A New Leaf
A Sequel to “A Leaf”
called
“A New Leaf”
By: Tom Wright

I once penned lines
thirty years ago.
Of a falling leaf
that had touched me so.
As it corkscrewed,
and gyrated,
it captured my eye.
Cascading downward,
from it's canopied sky.
At that time, my reflection,
it's life, but a season.
As the Lord's newly minted,
I possessed not yet,
intellect to reason.
Envisioning only death,
not rebirth come spring.
Without death first, new life,
seasons cannot bring.
So Eternity still awaits,
our final meeting.
While the vaporous time of Man,
much as the leaf,
is fleeting.
