little leaves sit on the pavement
accepted by the greys standing
below her leaf like green space
she sits in greens
in the shape of a star
parts of a tree in different shapes , patterns
sitting on a pavement
accepted by the greys
accepted by the steady surface below lighthearted tender spaces
little leaves sit on the pavement
they move slightly when the breeze starts to sing and whisper of care
drifting along the pavement
lightly wandering with the breeze
they have moved a few inches away from the greys
with the help of nature
with the help of a light feeling
laughing for a moment or two
helped to drift a little
to dance
and perhaps the more the breeze stands and sings
the better the chance the little leaves have of being closer to the tree
standing by the side of something that only they can understand
yet even when they sit on the pavement
move on the greys
they still can feel like a steady surface is there for them
perhaps listening to their every word
hearing their voice
feeling their presence
because little leaves are important too

I got a feeling of being out of control
At the winds mercy
Yet also happy to be accepted among the greys
Really enjoyed the laughter line
Thankyou peto 🙂 really appreciate your comment
Accepted by the greys but also feeling care / allowed to feel ‘ nice feelings . I guess being grounded is important but we also need those ‘ uplifting feelings and to be allowed to also feel ‘ safe ‘ .. and maybe the ‘ breeze is just that
I think we all need to feel grounded safe and cared for

A great metaphor and a sense of sensitivity toward those things often neglected and unnoticed. A caring thought and write.
