One freshly fallen leaf, which,
among the rush of rustling many,
finds a clefty wedge, ledges
there, and catches time.
Resting it then flutters mildly,
momentary gem sublime,
and back-lit now by autumn sun
becomes a lantern, shining.
Greenly vain, its flimsy show,
begins, leaf clings low,
and resonates in eerie glow,
rich highlights throw
a golden maze of throbbing veins,
patchworked webs which move
hypnotically, and gently undulate.
One green leaf becomes
a graphic entry
into mystic drama scene,
Intriguing me.
Flooded through with
opaque light,
this living sculpture
makes for green delight.
Shot-silk velvet, potent
with inviting moves,
gyrates and leaf and I unite
as both become
transformed.
Emerald sunlit charm
transmigrates when
leaf shines me,
and my dreamng state
into contemplation.
