One Red Leaf

Haiku.

one red leaf still clings
heavy winds cannot move it
not even the rain

[Cicera]

The question I ask myself here-which in no way should throw away the deepest contemplations towards which one can find himself pulled in the process of this image-is whether there were other red and brown leaves on that tree that I couldn't see. Is it possible that I am imagining this leaf clinging there alone on the tree? Or is it possible that I am imagining the absence of all those other leaves, which could be there just as well?

In other words, what makes this leaf special? It's courage, resistance, love of life, determination, stubbornness, integrity, idealism, fortitude, beauty; is it? But above all these abstract and composite terms, does it show on the face that which gets my attentive eye? I guess it does, and out of it comes this poem!

The last leaf of autumn. When it finally can't hold on any longer we know winter is here. Nicely done.

Seeing the last leaf still clinging to the branch...a sure sign winter has arrived. I like this.
