A GLINT OF LIFE

I watched a leaf float from a tree,
no breeze to guide its path,
it flew as delicately as a flake of snow,
undetermined where to go,
landing here on branches, there buoyed up,
its ariel shape,
its colour brown and pale,
and with its gentle dance
my thoughts began to meditate
on autumn's quiet expressions,
their subtle grace;
it landed with a little sound,
a full stop as it found its place
among its colleagues on the ground.

I hope the meditation carried on to where you wanted to be.
I thought this a lovely journey thought it lasted so short a while.
Have a lovely night and I hope all your tomorrows will be filled.
Yours Ian.T
