Just a Dead Leaf



The pressed leaf in our book
from two decades ago
reminds me of our walk:

Awe abounds as she peers
through the leaf’s filigree.
She sees a dying friend,
her own unknown disease –
all life passing away.

And yet the leaf’s beauty
fills her eye, revealing
wonder of life in death.

Just wanted to let you know that both blogs--the leaf and truth--are wonderful!! And I really liked the Sunday picture of the praying black child.
