a green leaf
fallen
from summer green
onto the pavement..
a lifetime shortened
denying us her color
etched by the cold of
approaching autumn..
there are youths
who also are green
fallen and denying us
the wisdom of
their autumn years..
summer
storms and stories
have dissolved
these green currents in
our river-flow of life..
yet they leave for us
a deep-felt comfort
knowing they
have arrived home
as we hold with joy
other currents
in our flow...
