still air

still air 

speaks a very different language

than the wind

 a falling leaf is still

the most magical

thing I've ever seen.

- even in twenty-one and a half words - you capture a lifetime of memories - if there is a magic moment - worthy of the famous flash in front of one's eyes - is it not that of a solitary falling leaf - more so in springtime? - there is just too much that that vision entails - it's leaving home, losing love, being alone, rising, falling, finding, drowning - and all that - in twenty-one and a half words!

sometimes you read something and it grabs your imagination and makes you take a sharp intake of breath! This is that moment..wonderfully expressive, the simplicity of your wisdom - is that wisdom is so simple..magical..pure magic..

falling leaves are metaphor for leavings

. beautiful, exquisite, ravishing poetry ... i can picture a maple leaf falling ... gosh ... it's just such a gorgeous sight ... but you etched it in words ... you ... the amazing poet ... the spectacular soul ... and the human in hiding ... i read this and i'm thinking the word magic wouldn't exist if magic didn't exist ... this is sheer magic, maestro ...
