Autumn

a leaf falls from an October tree
hitches a ride on the breeze 
before drifting to earth.

Reading this poem reminded me that the Earth is often called the “Water Planet”. I thought that the dead leaves would get a fresh life again by falling on the the water planet. I felt the beginning of life beyond the end of life.
