Tiny Frozen Leaves
Tiny leaves
left alone,
frozen now –
winter home.
Friends down low
on the ground,
huddled together,
not a sound.
In next spring
tinies will fall
and the friends?
Together, all!
left alone,
frozen now –
winter home.
Friends down low
on the ground,
huddled together,
not a sound.
In next spring
tinies will fall
and the friends?
Together, all!
