a leaf falling in the air
from the time it leaves
the branch of the tree
to the time it touches
the ground I will
have thought of you
my love, a thousand times
my hand resting against jagged rock
our life nettled above velvet clouds
shadow of softness your mind
touching earthâ?Ts diverse reflection
whispered words of love
your image inherited in my soul
unity of our two hearts beating
hoping you can feel the un
alloyed love I possess for you
from the time it leaves
the branch of the tree
to the time it touches
the ground I will
have thought of you
my love, a thousand times
a leaf falling in the air
(Joseph Mayo Wristen)
