Looking up into the pale blue sky <br /> <br /> <br /> I find myself entertained by a canary yellow leaf <br /> <br /> laced in an amber flame, <br /> <br /> <br /> Singularly circulating fifteen feet higher than <br /> the tallest tree in my yard. <br /> <br /> As I watch, I intended it to come to me <br /> it drifted further away... <br /> <br /> Out loud 'Come to me, ' I whispered. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> and before my very eyes, <br /> it trickled in a circular motion <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <i>slowly <br /> <br /> <br /> down <br /> <br /> to me, </i> <br /> <br /> while I waited, I inhaled and <br /> smiled as it landed gracefully <br /> at my feet. <br /> <br /> I <b>w</b>a<b>v</b>e<b>d</b> continuing to smile <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> the canary leaf waved back <br /> as it embraced me humbly. <br /> <br /> I remained quiet and still <br /> capturing this moment... <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> as it rose from the sidewalk <br /> and floated back up, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> the wind caught it, <br /> <br /> leaving me blessed. <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright © 10-23-2007, Kristin Roth-Davis<br /><br />Kristin Nicole RothDavis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beautiful-intent-2/
