Autumnal Offering



The golden leaf
that settled
in the silver shell

still remains a guest
within my garden.
But sadly

the leaf is dying now.
Will it be there
in the morning

or be blown away
forever? That a single
dying leaf

can engender grief...
Was this
autumnal offering

synchronicity
reminding me
of the moment of now...

  4. "The moment of now" and we only have so many allotted to us so we feel the grief of time passing. Beautiful photo and poem.

  5. How true, freebird.

    If we had only been taught
    about the "moment of now,"
    in our schools...But sadly,
    this is not included
    in our curriculum...

    Thanks for your thought provoking
    words.
