a single
yellow leaf
released
from the branch
catches
my eye
yellow leaf
released
from the branch
catches
my eye
i stop and ask
what happens
to fallen leaves
and a stranger
tells me
life
breaks
down
breaks
down
and then
becomes
life again
becomes
life again
i trust the stranger
perhaps this is what the dying man meant
when he asked me to pray
for life in general...
perhaps he felt
his own decomposition
as evidence of
his immortality. but
i can’t help
but
remember
the single
yellow leaf
for life in general... <3 love the structure and flow of this poem
