Leaf

if a leaf
falls off a houseplant
to the floor
don't touch it
leave it there
for as many days
as it takes
to make
you cry
Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.

the art of brevity...on display
good metaphor for life...so easy to picture the message
as reality would have it....



as an aside I take all the fallen leaves
and place them back in the pot to fertilize
which can also have a very visual impact
as one considers the cycles of life
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading
