A leaf green and white
Veins running through it like a river
It sways in the cool breeze
The rusting sound it makes is a melody to my ears
It relaxes me; I close my eyes as I listen to its song
I look up at it, the sun shining through its sheer body
Dances upon my brow like a ballet dancer
I smile, as I drink in the beauty of this wondrous leaf
It detaches from its branch and gently floats down to rest
Upon my lap.
I hold it ever so gently
Careful not to tear the delicate edges
Feel the softness it brings
This green and white leaf
That fell from heaven
Like an angel from up above
It blows out of my hand
And it’s lost forever
But its beauty haunts my mind.
