when we haven’t seen His beauty in a while, we fall
for any passing pleasure, and then
we turn back
to leaf,
coming down and kissing window in early
spring winds, and we are
reminded again of His realm
of daily revelations.
this particular leaf lands unexpectantly still
on my window seal
today, in the midst of such warm storms.
i think the warmth itself has something in waiting
to teach me of You, oh
Lord of and in
all creation
keep me seeing You
in all
that passes by my window
keep me still enough to hear
you in falling of single leaf
from such unseen distances
