One Bright Leaf

Wind sings a dirge where rust leaves have fallen. In the autumn of her life one bright leaf has risen I stand on the hill we tumbled down as children brimming with spirit no longer with me is she whose remains I am holding released to the wind her ashes now are mingling with the fallen leaves

Late congratulations on this one. When my step dad passed away my mom took his ashes everywhere with her an sprinkles a bit of his ashes at various locations. Ther was something very sweet in her actions. This poem is very touching.
