Just a leaf

A tiny leaf spins wildly through the air plucked by a wind pursuing storms with flair wind and leaf dances in gay abandon like they had burst from out a loose cannon . Over hills and dales, the leaf flies solo until horizons lose the sun’s halo, the waves in oceans continue to roll an eternal love to the shores their soul. Can the leaf hide from trees, flee the planet? Earth settles to sleep, grasses a blanket. The leaf stays invisible in the dark away from incessant griefs humans spark. Silence is holy, the biting cold sends shivers to minds, mere calm reason transcends. @jjote030924

I loved the delicacy of your poem and was captivated as I read about the brave leaf's journey--one of solitude and resilience. Seems as we can learn from the humble leaf and come to accept silence and transcend....outstanding. Your poem left me breathless. have a great evening, Sara

Dear Josefina, I love how you poem delicately captures the transient beauty and solitude of a leaf's journey. Each line carries the weight of introspection, echoing the eternal dance between nature and the elements. Through your artistic words, you invite me the reader to ponder the quiet wisdom found in solitude and the sanctity of nature's rhythms. This is a wonderful reflection on the essence of existence. - Blessings, Daniel
