Avian Leaves

Bluejay fly by
Avian chatter overhead
Gentle breeze settles leaves

Wind’s Breath

The departure from
Endless ocean and whitecaps
Winter’s gray cape

Nails against skin
Fierce wind’s breath
Leaves lift and slap air currents

Swaying your branches

To natures heated rhythm

Light touches each leaf

With brilliance

Only realized

As one truly

Sees your true self

The self as you are here, now

Waiting to be seen.
