lifethrupoems

I was on a walk

on a Saturday morning

then I stopped

watched it fall ever so gently

a single leaf……..

as orange as fire on the tip

but close to the stem, a crimson red

I went over

picked it up

lifted it

so it covered the sun

only the rays showing                                                    

I walked home

the image in my mind

I painted it lovingly

but not even a painting by Picasso

could capture the emotions

of the falling leaf
