A Separate Sorrow

A poem for fall

They’re so close and yet the change has stirred them to extremes
One has nearly lost it all, the other holding green
Maybe one was carrying so much
Branches let go leaves with just a touch

How’s the other thriving in this space?
From where comes its courage, strength, and grace?
I’ll go back and ask it on…
