Make Much of Something Small
The crunch of leaves that fall,
once green, then yellow,
quickly dry and crumple,
love notes lost to coming winter.
How quickly gusts denude the trees,
to leave them shivering in the wind.
Leaves don’t complain.
They turn to mulch
to keep the garden warm.
They know new leaves
will show again when winter
melts to sparkling spring.
