A Leaf: Poem by C.T. Rasmuss

A Leaf   C.T. Rasmuss, marker on paper (March 2014).


A Leaf 

A leaf trembling in the hellish wind,
cowering from it's wicked atmosphere.
A clever leaf that escaped its fall's fate
hides, compressed by the thorns of thickets.

Encircled by a mass grave of fallen brethren,
left naked of any hues and exposed bare
to these frigid elements: a leaf becomes
even more fearful of its impending doom.

This inevitability of returning into the earth,
...an earth which consumes all of us,
an earth that replenishes every one of us!
The Earth that birthed us all.
