Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

The lift of the breeze
pushing against the leaf
the water of the dew
pulling at its edge
The stem breaking free
from the branch of the maple
falling with the confidence
of a platform diver
Like a little bird
bravely flying from the nest
the brilliant color
dying in a beautiful dance
Landing on the carpet
like sunlight on the ground
though much of it in shadows
the yellow all around
