leaves

leaves
lines
crossing
intersecting
different stories
all of them
holding them
whispering them
on the treetops
quietly
to those
will are willing
to sit still
and simply
listen

leaves
fly
off the trees
through the air
on the wind
across the waters
flying
towards
someone
on the opposite
shore
quietly
to those
who are willing
to sit still
and simply
listen

leaves
there is a simple beauty
that is often missed
especially
by me
there is something about them
free
magical
amazing
something that God
wanted for us to see
if only
we had the
eyes
the quiet
the willingness
to just
stop
and listen
and watch
and see
what they had to tell us

what do they tell us?
hold
wait
be silent
listen to others
fly free
be yourself
listen to others
listen to God
leaves
they have a lesson
one for all
if only we
are willing to
listen
