Notes About The Poem

Written on October 13, 2024

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

 

A Single Leaf

A Single Leaf...

In shadows, silent, dancing
	Every color – burgundy, rust, gold dust
		Reflecting the dew drenched morning,
			Thoughts still, softest blessings beckon

Laughing, almost unknown,
	Settling the hurried pace,
		Graceful, like a whisper
			Fading from the maple’s branch

A gentle leaf, quiet
	Breathing hope and faith
		In melodies, collected
			By those who praise

A single leaf, glistening
	Glowing like the thanks
		Flowing from hearts, 
			Knowing that love grows

On the winds of peace,
	Abundant souls, showing
		Autumn’s serenity, blowing
			Beneath the skies, alive

God’s song, all along
	Proving darkness wrong
		With the life’s calling
			Beautiful stories, breathed

By a single leaf, a whispery breeze, autumn’s admiring
Praise comes – from the very trees who’re shedding summer’s prayers.
