Yellow Leaf

Yellow Leaf

New green leaf unfurls

hopeful in the lush forest,

flutters in the breeze.

Yellow leaf shines bright

against a backdrop of green,

still clings to the branch.

Yellow leaf drifting

enjoyed its day in the sun,

now rests on the earth.

Thank you, Kritika. I wrote this after watching a yellow leaf falling from the tall trees behind our house yesterday.
