I Take Note

Now, there is gold on the ground,

the curled, foiled beauty of shapes

no hand can make, the veined

artistry of fallen leaves in the perfection

of release from trees.  There’s a grace

in knowing how to let go, a two-step

act of letting go and going to

and in-between the air, some call 

the winds of destiny.  A word not too

strong for falling.  A word as true

as it has ever been.  And the gold 

that turns to decay to feed again

the trees and the leaves and the

falling.  I take note of what I see.
