Occasionally, a leaf

Poem

By Manuel C.Published about 10 hours ago 1 min read

Occasionally, a leaf at the rim -

almond-shaped, thin, white, soft with a tip.

The wind blows and chuckles.

The water is here to see it.

This tiny leaf contains a huge memory.

You are well aware!

It remains.

It teaches me and stays.

The brook says, "Stone and flow, and flow and stone;

We must be silent for our say to flow, let it be."

It remains a leaf, and in it, a leaf remains.

I am created from love.

I yield to love.

I humble myself to flourish.

I flower to curve.

Tonight, I will fall as softly as a word forgotten.

I will fall like light, white in the water that is not.

When the whole world goes mute, will the world be mute...

Will I distort before the word "other" ends?
