feather
and leaf 
of
the one tree fallen 
so
much weather in each
one
is a map 
this
is all
the world's travels
each
is
a
breeze shaped stillness 
equally
light catching
lodged
from
perch let 
sometimes
simply caught enchanted
who
is to witness the moment of parting?
no
reason given 
not
a word said 
landed
where we are in doors 
it's
the whole bird
it's
the whole tree sings 
tree
to the saw 
in
our day falling 
all
take off
some
of us good 
for
just the one flight 
and
easy on the ending 
all
because time told 
 
ReplyDeletetime doesn't tell
there is no landing
neither light nor flight
otherwise up to you and me
no, time nags and nags
ReplyDeletetill we comply
we all know where martyrdom leads
