When I sat on the park bench,

she floated to the ground

right before my feet.

♠

I felt like stepping on her,

to feel the crinkle of the dry fallen leaf

under my bare toes.

♠

Seeing her difference,

I paused and took note;

my mind saying, let her be.

♠

Don’t squash her into the ground,

allow her to live her dreams ,

even if they be for another day or two.

♠

For all, I may know, 

she’s been dying to lie down,

tired of hanging on limbs 

that made her sway up and down.

♠

Just let her be;

said my mind.

Let her have her peace.

♠

I wrote this as I watched the leaves, my mind dwelling on many little things.

  3. I love this “she is been dying to lie down.” i never thought about it that way, the effort it must have took all the time hanging on, withstanding, wind, rising always to the sun. Maybe all living things have that time when we all dying to lie down. Loved this Poem so much
