Fallen Leaf

Fallen Leaf

Like a leaf falling on a windy day

Losing it's grip of it's branch

Tossing and turning on a stormy day

Rolling in whatever direction

Sky raining freezing droplets  

Making the icy puddles

Where it finally lands

seems cold

seems dark

far away from it's comfort zone

from sticks and stems to sand and stone

Nothing seems the same

What it didn't know

Was that it was time to grow

Into its own plant

Like an episcia leaf spruting root

Its not the end yet

it takes a while but it will no longer be a fallen leaf

But the beginning on brand new leaf.

Hello Cleo...

Great descriptive write!

Life of a leaf...

It reminds us that when the old passes away there is always new...

The leaf changes before it falls...

Thank you for sharing...

Hugs...

Hello Cleo, I like this. It takes away empathy for the leaf knowing in the end it will go through its own metamorphosis instead of decomposing on the ground. Love and Respect your friend D.
