Thursday Inspiration – Life of a Leaf

From the tiny bud emerging on the branch

To the partial opening during spring chills

Uncurling in the late spring

Finding full strength in summer sun

Teetering, trying to hold fast as autumn winds blow

Flying free as a burnished spirit in early winter

Scooting across the icy snow and finally buried

In a frozen blanket to nourish the earth

Helping newborn buds grow.
