Watch a Leaf Falling

Watch a leaf fall,

any leaf, any shape or color,

it doesn’t matter,

so many to choose from;

it might flutter, wobble

side to side, slowly adrift

as it floats, free and alone;

or drop like a rock

let loose from your palm,

straight down, a silent crash;

or turn itself sideways,

sailing across the yard,

an uncontrolled kite,

caught in a breeze.
