A little poem about leaves
The wind loves each leaf.
After they burn up their colors
It gently stacks in corners
The delicate remains
Until they are thousands.
Not a single one bent.

What’s the context if I may ask?

Mostly it’s just kind of a nature poem. I guess it’s also about… gentleness. Being kind to those who are fragile. Respect for those who have passed, or for the aged. And there is a meditative element to it too, the delicate stacking of each thing. Er, maybe I didn’t have a clear thought in mind. haha

That’s the beauty of writing from my aspect. It’s not so much what I am trying to express, but what the reader takes away. There is always projection and interpretation based on what’s happening in the reader’s life or what they have experienced before.

I am alarmed by the clear implication of your poem that you might soon fancy stacking me in some corner somewhere as among the “aged”.

LOL! You’re right Paul, we shouldn’t delicately stack the aged in corners. But I will make an exception for you!

I love the order out of chaos theme here. Life is messy and chaotic. It would be good to know that order finally reigns.

I’ll bet the wind thinks itself very organized. Like when Don tries to clean up after me and I’m like, “No! I left that candy wrapper on the floor for the cat to play with!” Order is in the eye of the beholder, I guess 😉
