It falls gently to the earth
From the tree above,
The wind wisks it away
But, carried by God's love.
It finally comes to rest
In a lightly rippling pond,
The leaf went through many changes
Now, the leaf and water bond.
The pond gently cradles it
This fragile little leaf,
Rocks it back and forth
And finally, puts it to sleep.

I really like this one. The image is painted beautifully and fluffy in some sense yet prosaic. Great one. Keep it up!!!
