my thoughts are with the earth today
the changing seasons
moving from the darkest day of the year
towards the lightest
once again
on my walk today i found these
lovely tissue-paper-thin leaves
clinging to moss-covered trees
transparent skeletons
form a perfect reminder of the darkness
we're leaving behind
i collected a handful
and ironed them flat
between snow white
tissue
these leaves
how beautiful and delicate they are
still.
