Nervous

sorenbarrett

A shaking leaf on a bending bow flutters in winds that plough the field of sky
It trembles and quakes with each gust that makes it want to fly
It clings with umbilical stem bound to the hem of mother nature's womb
Color turned being spurned for new leaves to make room

        The leaf feels almost human ā€” fearful, aging, yet still deeply connected to life even as change becomes inevitable. Good one

            Clinging on by a thread while the sky tries to tear you looseā€”thereā€™s something raw and honest in that fight to stay.
            Even as itā€™s being pushed out, thereā€™s a quiet dignity in the leaf knowing itā€™s part of a cycle that doesnā€™t ask permission.

              Soren, this is incredibly moving. The trembling leaf becomes so much more than a leaf hereā€¦it feels like mortality itself clinging to the branch a little longer. And that ā€œumbilical stemā€ image paired with being spurned for new leaves gives the ending such bittersweet inevitability. Quietly devastating work, my friend. šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸ™šŸ•ÆļøšŸ¦ā€ā¬›

                Good write SB. Yes, bit crowded in our house. I bring the tree from the garden indoors each night. Well, it's a bit chilly for it out there all night. Then I have to re-pant it each morning. Doh! lol.

                • sorenbarrett

                  Thanks Orchi I appreciate the read and comment I am sorry about the tree the last one we brought in the house did not fare well in that the Christmas tree was cut off at the roots and it tended to miss them

                  • orchidee

                    Oh dear! We could bring a Bonsai miniature tree indoors each night.

                    Birth is in so many things on this Planet.
                    New Buds being just one.
                    Like it.
