Did you just see that yellow leaf
Hop down to the ground while
All the others fell or are falling
But that one clearly leapt
Upward at first casting itself
Out as if to catch the wind
Not merely succumbing to it
But working it to its purpose
To land at a greater distance
From the branch that had
Already lifted it as far as it
Could go its direction was the sun
But the ground still wanted it to fall
