dancing

In loss still they dance!

2022 January 26th2021 January 19th

the leaves all dance
to the same breeze —
but some flutter and some fall
some shiver and some sway —

and when a gust comes
they lose themselves —
but are no less beautiful
on the ground, where resting
they still yet dance, but free
