Floating in Sunlight

This sunny Monday,

Flag waves as does its shadow;

Here is light and dark.

Fullness of the tree

Depleted as its leaves drop--

Partial undressing

Autumn leaves glowing

In the afternoon sunshine

Give their own send off.

Alone on the ground

Two boots wait for their owner.

(They seem so lonely).

 With determined gait

She marches across the road

With nary a nod.

Floating in sunlight,

Leaves go beyond their structure

To an unknown place.
