a single leaf drifts

mid-air; a thousand lifetimes

pause to catch its breath.

    There’s a sense of anticipation here, be also a sense that life moves forward regardless of the drop. considering the limitation of haikus I’m impressed.

    The bated breath. The pause in existence. The transition from the safety of the tree to the new reality that awaits. Awesome job!
