I saw a red leaf.
Visually, unremarkably,
we glide through life
at times,
filling stores with memorabilia.
Artifacts of our histories.
We see things in passing.
Sometimes we stop.
We gaze and remember.
Sometimes we see
new things in the familiar.
I saw a red leaf.
A part of myself I had forgotten.
During the course of your miracle
you will encounter yourself
in many facets,
much like the diamond you will become.
You will see yourself in many ways,
with light shining through
the prism you become.
Some of this light will be red.
You may see a leaf.
You are simply stitched
folded, sealed
with slender tie
unremarkably hooked
You are dressed up
in silk, transparently
crisped
Your sheath is filled
with a mass of green leaves
porously and minutely mixed
into millions of health help
a single drink may reap.
The steaming hot pure
water waited to be poured
into a tiny colorful teacup
you unashamedly adored
It must be warm and toasty abode
to his spirit of yours
that wanders
from countless cry
to a numerous try
The hands gracefully
hold your lace
into the brimming fluidly
surface
Gently, you flap and plunge your case
As you open to the pace
these kind hands have possessed
They whisk you and dip you
into the unknown
Yet, you yield to the most
soothing zone
Of becoming stronger and bared
This beauty of yours that can never
be compared.
As I set staring so far out at the bay, I saw a flash that was so fieriest and fast. I
looked at the sky with a blink of my eye and saw the black clouds rolling in so
fieriest and fast, for then I heard the thunder roar the wind blowing in such an
unremarkably and fieriest way.
It was as if Mother Nature was so having a retaliation day, so there for I say slowly
calm down my beauty mother of nature; for you are bewilderingly our remarkably
beauty of nature.
