Whispered Silence

daisiesnfld: Whispered Silence
.
Gasping last breaths of beauty
Veins and a spine of its own
Gently loosens its lease now
On what was once its home
.
In soft and whispered silence
It fell gently to the ground
And waited for a breeze
To lift it air bound
.
Yet there it lay for a while
As though to contemplate
Which direction it would go
Where it might find its fate
.
Dusk came and then nightfall
And finally the dew
It felt heavy with weight
No longer crisp, thrown askew
.
Waiting for the morning sun
Hoping to dry out again
And join the many others
On the journey of the wind
.
But denied it was
The gust upward to the sky
Twirled and curled it had swirled
On its downward way to die
.
Camouflaged in glorious colors
Memorized by all the birds
The leaf, one of many
Lay fallen and never heard
.
