The Maple Leaf

The Maple Leaf By SWA (Suzanne)

At night in the day
you visit by transport
of the wind a message sings in the distance
you come from a residence or hand that 
placed you here, how you knew nature 
speaks to my very soul!
Yet...as I get closer silence
no whisper I hear
What is that message?
What is the reason?
Are you stalking me?
Or is it provocation you crave?
Different fashion you clearly love
sometimes brown, green sometimes a mix
Where, hence you come from Maple Leaf?
I no longer wonder for your silence 
no longer hinders me, I see clearly now 
that answer only in my heart
not even your beauty depicted 
in nature will provoke that answer
only a clue I can provide
God is Real Maple Leaf that
you should know 
for before your birth many other Leaves formed
from the branch you call
your residence and only when God decides
shall no more Leave , be.

Thought provoking. One is unique but schooled on those who preceded us. The analogy of the leaf in its many colours, and the play on the word Leave is skillfully woven with the end.
