The fall of the last leaf

The forceful autumn winds
insistent to take all

finally the last leaf
in fetal curl
falling
falling
falling
   suddenly swept up
         cradled in the winds hold
And as suddenly
    let go

falling
falling
free now
            letting go
of all that holds
all that was
all in the now
all in and then
to the ground
   mother earth
             waits
for the last leaf's fall
