The runaway leaf
the one
that did not want to be
shoved
in to a pile
with all the rest
the leaf that got away
but where was it to go
be blown about
with all the other wayward leaves
it needed a purpose
or could it just be
free
to merely be
an ethereal presence
bearing witness
a free floating
ambiance
innate
in aesthetics
a gazers’ delight.
