Leaf Taught Me... Poem by jose sarang

A leaf
A Leaf taught me to fall
Fall on the stillness and melt like a grey veil
Melt like a grey veil
A drop
A drop of dew taught me to dream
Dream like a bird,
Bird swings on the strings of rain
A feather,
Feather taught me to fly
Fly above the hills of sacred greens
And silent planes
A pearl,
Pearl taught me to be silent in the night
Silent in the crying waves
Silent in the shells of my nights
A tree,
A lone tree taught me to stand still
Stand still in the rain,
Stand still in the burning flames
And then rise my hands up to the sky
A falling flower
A falling flower taught me to love
To love as she loved the leaves and the seed.
A leaf
A yellow leaf
Taught me to fall.
And a seed to sprout
And a seed
To sprout
