On Being A Leaf

, , , ...

Allan's post on Saturday called to mind something that I wrote this fall. And although it is fall-ish, I thought I would post it this spring in honor of his stirring post.
It is officially spring finally and the weather is growing warmer (mostly) but the leaves aren't back yet on the trees. Something is a little bit awry with such warmth on the skin but no green in the trees to feel it.

Gone
This is the only place I want to be,
but the wind is blowing
harder and colder now.
And the trees don’t whisper
once they’ve lost their leaves.

Maybe I can fall like the leaves
and drift on their winds.
Maybe I'll be carried away
until I’m simply not any more.

I can’t always cry for you,
nor can I forget.
But I do wonder,
does love linger through
a thousand winters,
or like the leaves and me,
when things turn colder
will it merely cease to be?
