the lesson of the falling leaves
by Lucille Clifton

the leaves believe
such letting go is love
such love is faith
such faith is grace
such grace is god
I agree with the leaves

The Sparrow

by Paul Laurence Dunbar

A LITTLE bird, with plumage brown,
Beside my window flutters down,
A moment chirps its little strain,
Then taps upon my window-pane,
And chirps again, and hops along,
To call my notice to its song;
But I work on, nor heed its lay,
Till, in neglect, it flies away.

So birds of peace and hope and love
Come fluttering earthward from above,
To settle on life's window-sills,
And ease our load of earthly ills;
But we, in traffic's rush and din
Too deep engaged to let them in,
With deadened heart and sense plod on,
Nor know our loss till they are gone.

  Hey Mallig; miss your postings. Then again, this might present me with the perfect opportunity to learn from the past (you know, dig into your earlier works...smiling).
