After the Storm
Leaf detached
from Tree today;
a powerful 5 a.m. storm
set her free
Gentle Wind carried Leaf
in fanciful flight;
released from its
summer home,
Sky,
cradled by Wind,
Leaf
looped/tumbled/rose/fell
Earth waited,
ready to catch her;
a snowfall
of crimson, russet, gold
also came to rest
in a colorful, patchwork carpet
for Earth
Leaf creates soil;
nourishment for Tree
Winter:
hibernation
preparation
restoration
Spring, once more;
variations on green
Leaf appears
Tree lifts Leaf
to Sky
