A delightful walk in fall
Three wisdom keepers I did pass
Tall, strong and silent
Populi in full canopy
Fall is eager but they are not quite ready
Holding on to their precious leaves
I look up into their beauty
Just as I said, "You are all beautiful"
A leaf let go and reached out for me
I held it delicately with gratitude
Admiring its hues of yellow, green, gold and brown
I notice it's tiny perforations
Heart shaped but irregular
Jagged edges all around
Veins barely visible
Stem in tact
Point reaching outward
Offering to share life with others
It lives and breathes
Oxygen as vital to us as C02 is to it
It reminded me of our symbiotic relationship
For we all are a part of nature!
