“No Leaf Don’t Die”

No leaf don’t die
falling to the ground
gently striking the Earth
your mission not done;
Your texture soft & warm
like the skin covering the hand
with blood flowing through
velvet and warming earth;
Is this your end come
while still alive to be
to die unfought as yet
unchallenged to survive;
The hand grasps for life
but as hit many times
will break and shatter
regenerating once more;
You also fall apart soon
as your fibers separate
as slivers seeking the soil
embracing life’s strength;
Your texture once soft
like skin in death
now starts to harden
being a leaf no more!
