Looking up into the pale blue sky
I find myself entertained by a canary yellow leaf
laced in an amber flame,
Singularly circulating fifteen feet higher than
the tallest tree in my yard.
As I watch, I intended it to come to me
it drifted further away...
Out loud 'Come to me, ' I whispered.
and before my very eyes,
it trickled in a circular motion
slowly
down
to me,
while I waited, I inhaled and
smiled as it landed gracefully
at my feet.
I waved continuing to smile
the canary leaf waved back
as it embraced me humbly.
I remained quiet and still
capturing this moment...
as it rose from the sidewalk
and floated back up,
the wind caught it,
leaving me blessed.
