dog-eared pages

and autumn leaves

yellowed with wisdom

yesterdays released

into morrows

demise morphed

into life

each page and

each leaf breathes

renewal into souls

without challenge

time governs

the when and where

if only…

“I hope I can be the autumn leaf, who looked at the sky and lived. And when it was time to leave, gracefully it knew life was a gift.” – Dodinsky
