Alex Corns Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Just

Simply a leaf.  
Falling from a maple tree. 
Floating down in circles.  
Briefly flying free.  

Weightless and empty. 
Swaying in the open air.  
Under the spell of time.  
Feeling no care.  

Now softly landing. 
In the moment, an eternity.  
Peaceful, still and content.  
Grateful to be.
