[hometext] => One leaf of millions yet one heard profoundly by my soul!
[bodytext] => "Tick" Today as I was hunting In the late autumn wood Sitting in a tall maple tree Contemplating life was good A single leaf caught my eye As it fluttered to the ground As I heard the little "tick" I thought, "How profound"! Through all the growing pains Of hard northern springs Through frost and thunderstorm Tenaciously to life the little leaf clings Day by day it grows An integral part on which the tree depends Basking lazily in summers warmth Happily the little leaf spends The days of it's life Happy and content Unconcerned the day will come When its time is spent Today was that day And now as I write I can't help but remember the little leaf Upon the forest floor tonight "Oh little leaf of the maple tree" "You did not live in vain" "For even now I hear" "The echoes that remain" "That little "tick" I still hear" "Reverberates through my soul" "Reminding me the time is near" "When I too shall know" "That spiraling downward arc" "Unto a resting place upon the ground" "I wonder if my little "tick" "Will be nearly as profound" "Because of you I mark my time" "Flutter a little more urgently in the wind" " Am a little more aware" "Soon my time comes to an end" "Will anyone care?" "Anyone notice at all? " Will anyone even hear The "tick" when I fall "Oh little maple leaf" "As I wipe these tears away" "Think not your little "tick" "Wasn't heard today!"

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
