A gentle
breeze
blew leaves
upon your
tree.
They clung
to the
branches,
refusing
to
surrender.
A violent
storm
appeared,
beat
against
your
branches.
Disturbing
the
leaves.
They
held
firm,
until
they
couldn't
hold
any
longer
The
pressures
of life, so
great
they fell
away
crying.

I liked this.
I liked how you used the leaves as symbols.
One of your best H, a beautiful metaphor..strong in comparison,yet tender in deliberation..
