Autumns Games
Upon still waters the maple leaf lays
not sinking nor floating, just waiting
for the wind to catch it's breath and play.
Deep in still ponds, where shadows spawn
the riches to feed the earth
rumbles a bubble that dares to grumble
and is released in a gaseous display.
It bursts beneath the maple leaf
tumbling it under into the waves
till slowly now ... ever so slowly now
it sinks beneath the surface.
Silently the wind picks up
and laughs with the watery waves
as they both give witness to another jewel
they have captured this very day.
Today, upon still waters the maple leaf lays
not sinking nor floating, just waiting
for the wind to catch it's breath and play.
