July 5, 2018: Fading leaves

Moving up from branch
To branch
Higher it climbs
Each time looking down
Around the leaves
Where the light breaks through the trees
A view of the beginning
The roots peaking out of the dirt
Would it hurt?
To fall from here?
Throw fear into the breeze
Seize the moment…and jump?
Back to the start
-where it all began
As it stands still, unsure of where to go
The sun shows from above
Up, my love.
Go up into my arms
Don’t fall into the charms of fading leaves.
