it is the last leaf, the one that could not let go
dangling there as if suspended in the air
but clinging. Always clinging to what was.
If the whispers of the wind aren’t enough
the leaf
flipping and turning but
stubbornly will not fall.
The last leaf
clinging to the tree
holding tight against the night.
shivering in the cold
but holding tight.
as we watch waiting
we bound to the fate
the outcome
the reality
of the last leaf clinging ever to the tree.

Our seasons are not as marked as yours, consequently sometimes nature here is unpredictable
i’ve been reading about the volcano and the landslide of the past few days. Stay safe!
I had written something like the about the last leaf. I will search for it and post it here if it has not been posted elsewhere. I like the way you describe the situation.
thanks I keep watching that little leaf hanging on!
?The last leaf clings to the vine… ?
And along its clinging goes the hope
That a better day will come ?
🙂 why let go of today when the promise of tomorrow lies ahead.
Because today is about to end in my side of the globe, that is why ??✌️
it is just beginning on my side of the globe!
I sure miss the autumn changes here in Florida. I did get excited when I went to the store. I actually saw a tree with falling leaves. It almost made me cry. lol Otherwise it is green palm trees all around
i remember the non-changing florida. I used to visit my grandparents when they were there!
Some leaves are very persistent. We still have some leaves on the tree.
i wonder what makes a leaf persistent?
That’s what I want to know. I suppose there are identical leaves in the tree.
i do not know. I just watch it as I walk by wondering if now is the moment it will fall
There are no leaves on my tree anymore … all of them have fallen away and are already plucked
there is a tree on our walk that has one leaf left. I keep watching it expecting each day that it will be gone!
It’s an interesting observation … but you have no wind?
we’ve had several wind storms, but the last leaf is still clinging.
He is obviously very tenacious and nothing comes alive
i wondered if possible a spider had used the leaf in a web.
Yes, I saw every leaf left my trees in the garden.
surely there are a couple of trees with a single leaf left?
I watched the leaves fall from my windows every single day.
so can you ask me, I never asked my father this and I wish I had.
as the gardener, do you feel a little sad when leaves from the trees you planted?
Absolutely it is a sad feeling for me, it feels they are going away. I know they will return but for the moment it is sad for me.
i always wanted to ask dad that. Thanks for answering, it is the answer I expected but it does explain a lot!
