When maple leaves fade

Still here

Long after its color blazed with glory.

Long after it fell off the tree.

Long after it faded into a crinkly, forgotten mess.

It still had a story to tell.

I keep thinking this singular leaf holds a broader lesson for us.

I keep thinking we need to shift our understanding of what is and is not beautiful.

I keep thinking this is the year we’ll finally figure it out.

Perhaps not.
