the illumination of leaves

with each celestial breath, the maples wistfully depart with summer’s translucent passing. magenta, rust and goldenrod glide earthbound toward the depths of memory.

the illumination of leaves in their gentle departure, bare the branches of heart; and in letting go, the promise of a new season insulates the now quiescent spring. change brings ecstatic pain.


after spending the past month contemplating my life course, i wonder now how all has transpired…or where i may find myself to be next time, this season. i hope i will find solace in the choices i have made and that the path that i have chosen will widen with each step forward.

like the sun following its ritualistic path across the sky, i too trace how each day informs my being and becoming.
