leaving the leaves alone
at the gate i stand having walked the length of the back path to it it is a bright night the silverdollar moon hangs off to the west illuminating autumn's canvas
the sugarmaple leaves lie a scarlet river beneath halfnaked branches abandoned in favor of the freedom of the cool earth not knowing when the rains come as they surely will they will be prisoned in a muddy coffin
part of me wants to push open the gate and explore to discover what awaits in the shadows beyond the perimeter of moonlight but i am reluctant to trample the fallen freed at last from the tether of the trees i turn away
heading back to the house i wonder what it feels like to be dying severed from what has sustained one's life and realize i already know this i am a fallen leaf destined for a muddy coffin awaiting the rains that will surely come ~ copyright 2015 RC deWinter
