Somewhere a leaf falls
An autumn haiku
Somewhere a leaf falls
bonding a carpet of gold
with hushed surrender

The Architecture of Return
Returning is not a single moment. It is a construction process, slow and deliberate, built from the inside out. After the storms, after the altitude, after the cost, you find yourself standing in the quiet aftermath with nothing but the truth you’ve earned and the pieces of a life that no longer fits. This is where the real work begins—not in rising, not in surviving, but in building something that can hold you without requiring your disappearance.

A perfect small moment captured in three lines. Autumn really comes alive here.

It falls in the forest, do we hear it. So lovely a premise. Golden haiku.
