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.
