A Leaf Does a Universe Make

A leaf does a universe make

a myriad of fissures, caverns, and shapes.

 

Ice age born of fertile moraines,

the trees from stardust rain

 

down autumn colors; origin: the skies

celestial spheres that catch our eyes

 

tie us into a tapestry of creation:

leaf, an eye, and our oblation.
