leafy

while the air
held its breath
i wondered
how long it would last
as i watched its shadow
pirouette
up above me
slowly turning with grace
and Dived into the puddle
making Dainty waves
reflecting
a copper maple light
that brightened up
a sprout of water
that i was speckled with
that gave me a Cool
burst of change
and
hearing the rustling
of the trees reassured it
that company was coming.
