Left After The Snow Melts

Sorry to break things up, but I missed this one. I was lifting a stack of dry leaves I had racked and found this lemon geranium leaf. I’m fascinated by the contrast this near-pristine leaf against the rot under it. With the almost-still-red maple leaf next to it, I heard a story in my mind. These two kept each other company under the leaves over the long cold winter, ignoring the decomposition of all those around them by the good company they kept with one another. Here they lie, side by side, enjoying the crisp Spring air and sun.
