One surviving leaf

Months after this forlorn leaf should have been swept off the branch and into oblivion, it still holds on.

It’s a bit of a stretch to say a humble leaf can be so defiant, but how else can we explain why it continues to flutter in the winter winds while just about all of the others have long since disappeared?

I stand in the bitter cold and wonder about the why of this particular leaf, about the story it could tell if it had the ability to tell stories at all.

And then it hits me: everything has a story, even if we’ll never know what that story is. Because some things are destined to remain mysteries to those on the outside looking in.
